Biography
editOlander received his A.B. from Columbia University in 1953 and B.S. in 1954. He then received his Sc.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[1] He wrote his dissertation on the reprocessing of nuclear fuels using the solvent extraction method.[2] He joined the Berkeley faculty in 1958 and moved to Berkeley's nuclear engineering department in 1961 until his retirement in 2008.[2] His research has focused on the chemical aspects of nuclear materials.[1]
Olander was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2000 "for research on nuclear materials including nuclear fuel element behavior in power reactors."[3] He is a fellow of the American Nuclear Society.[1]
