Biography
Rob is a research scientist in the Pyrochemistry and Molten Salt Systems department at INL with over ten years of both computational and experimental experience in the molten salt pyroprocessing field. He received bachelor's degrees in French, chemistry, and chemical engineering from University of Idaho in Moscow. Dr. Hoover then moved to Idaho Falls and earned a master's in nuclear engineering and Ph.D. in chemical engineering focusing on pyrochemical processing of used nuclear fuels. He is currently working at INL on many different aspects of separations in molten salt systems, focusing on the chemistry and electrochemistry of actinide bearing molten salts. Dr. Hoover has authored or co-authored 12 peer-reviewed publications and over 20 presentations at national and international conferences and workshops on topics relating to pyroprocessing technology and safeguards.
