is a Research Engineer in the Nuclear and Radiation Engineering Program. She has sixteen years experience in nuclear engineering, nuclear and chemical analytical techniques, and two years of nuclear reactor operations. She has fourteen years domestic and international experience in scientific research and collaboration as well as two years experience in the teaching, training, and licensing of nuclear scientists and nuclear reactor operators. Dr. Foltz Biegalski specializes in nuclear data analysis algorithm development for software applications. Prior to working for The University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Foltz Biegalski utilized her expertise to support the development of technology in support of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). This includes the development of software to analyze beta-gamma coincidence data from radioxenon monitoring systems.

Over the last three years we have developed a very robust nuclear and radiochemistry program at The University of Texas at Austin. The cornerstone of support was the DOE Radiochemistry Educational Award Program (REAP) which was awarded from 2002-2005. A second award for the period of 2005-2008 was just received. This award has enabled us to support many educational activates from vanguard classroom instruction, to laboratory enhancements, to research activities at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Both traditional radiochemistry and advanced topics in nuclear instrumentation have been supported.
