Title: Advancing Radiation Detection for Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguards
Abstract: This seminar presents an overview of research conducted by the Radiation Detection Technologies and Applications Group (RadTag) at Oregon State University, focused on advancing radiation detection and sensing technologies to support nuclear safety, security, and safeguards. The presentation will highlight the development of innovative sensing materials, non-destructive assay techniques, and broad-area sensor networks—ranging from laboratory-scale investigations to large-scale field deployments. Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary approaches that explore advanced detector materials, laser spectroscopy, robotics, and AI to address real-world challenges.
