About us

Our mission is to develop new radiation detection technologies for use in the applied sciences, commercial applications, future particle and nuclear physics experiments and extreme radiation environments. 

Our main activities are: 

• Design, construction and commissioning of radiation detector systems  
• Development of novel materials for radiation detection applications in scientific, safeguarding and industrial settings. 
• Monte Carlo simulation of radiation environments and damage in materials and detector systems. 
• Radiation testing in proton, neutron and gamma test facilities. 
• Finite element analyses (FEA) for the thermal performance studies of mechanical structures.  
• Data analysis using a variety of methods ranging from parameter estimation to machine learning methods (including Deep Learning).
• Development of fast and efficient data processing methods on platforms ranging from Rasberry-Pi to High Performance Computer networks.

How we can help

We work in partnership with numerous companies, organisations and funding agencies. If you’re looking for an academic partner to work on a proposal, or seeking consultancy, you can contact us at detectors@qmul.ac.uk.
