Agneta Plamboeck. 2002-2004.  Post-doc.  Worked on mycorrhizal networks in Sierran mixed-conifer forests.  University of California, Berkeley. 

I am currently employed by Swedish Defense Research Agency’s (FOI) Chemical, Biological, Radioactive and Nuclear (CBRN) Defense and Security Division. FOI is a research institute in defense and security. The core business is development of research, methods and technology. FOI’s CBRN Defense and Security Division houses researchers and experts on chemical, biological, radioactive and nuclear (CBRN) incidents.
I am working on redistribution of anthropogenic radionuclides in the environment. Currently I am also assessing radiological threats, which includes work that predicts the future distribution of weapon of mass destruction. Further, I study particle size distributions from different radioactive sources when they are dispersed.
