Nickolas H. Anderson studies the chemistry of heavy and radioactive elements, including uranium, plutonium, americium, and californium, often using molten salt systems to explore how these elements transfer electrons and form new chemical bonds. This work involves growing and analyzing crystals of new compounds to understand their structures, with relevance to nuclear materials processing and separation chemistry. Students in this area would work with actinide and lanthanide chemistry, crystallography, and coordination chemistry techniques.

Publication output was relatively steady from 2017-2021 (roughly 8-16 per year) but dropped sharply after 2021, with only a handful of publications per year since, suggesting a recent slowdown or shift in output.
