Bianca Schacherl

Bianca Schacherl, is a junior group leader at KIT in Germany on Development of X-ray Spectroscopies and Radiochemical Applications. She received her BSc in chemistry from University of Konstanz, Germany before she started her MSc and PhD at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany on “Advancing actinide high-energy resolution X-ray absorption/emission spectroscopic tools” which was awarded the KIT Doctoral Award for Outstanding Doctoral Researchers. She explored several directions of radiochemistry during research stays and fellowships in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, the Joint Research Center of the European Commission, and Los Alamos National Lab (LANL), USA. She joined Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL), USA in 2023 for a Post-Doc with the Minasian and Abergel groups. Since 2025 she is building her junior research group at KIT. Her research interests are within spectroscopy and radiochemistry, especially X-ray spectroscopies and their application on magnetic, radiochemical, radiopharmaceutical as well as biological systems.
