Michael F. L’Annunziata earned his PhD degree in 1970 at the University of Arizona. His thesis research in the 1960s, under contract with the then-US Atomic Energy Commission, dealt with the analysis of radionuclides and chemical remediation of the environment in the event of fission product fallout from nuclear war.
L’Annunziata was formerly Head of Fellowships and Training at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria. He served as a representative and lecturer for the IAEA on peaceful applications of nuclear energy for development in over 40 countries from 1976-2007. He is currently a private consultant in radioactivity analysis.
Michael is the recipient of the 2022 Arthur Holly Compton Award in Education, granted by the American Nuclear Society.
