State-Of-The-Art Pixelated 3D CdZnTe Systems, Applications and Research
Abstract: State-of-the-art CdZnTe gamma-ray imaging spectrometers developed by the University of Michigan and commercialized by H3D, Inc. are now used by more than 75% of US nuclear power plants. The H3D CdZnTe gamma cameras verify the adequacy of temporary shielding, contamination control, PWR Crud Burst isotopic trends and radwaste shipment surveys. The wide adoption of the detector technology has led to new applications in homeland security, safeguards on nuclear materials, and nuclear emergency response. The position-sensitive, 3D CdZnTe room temperature semiconductor gamma-ray spectrometers and imagers are being evaluated for medical applications including proton beam therapy dose measurements, PET, SPECT and radionuclide isotopic imaging. New funding from US DOE for sustainable nuclear technologies will be discussed.
Bio: David earned his BSE, MSE and Ph.D. (2019) from the University of Michigan NERS department. Since graduating, he has worked as a research engineer at H3D, Inc., a radiation detection startup in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Over the past two years, David has leveraged 3D CZT technology on NIST/DOE/DOD grants ranging from RIID isotope identification to real time monitoring of primary coolant isotopics.
