Welcome to the homepage of the Enqvist Research Group, a part of the University of Florida Department of Materials Science and Engineering Nuclear Engineering Program! We conduct research on fresh nuclear reactor fuel neutron and gamma signature detection and modeling signatures of clandestine nuclear activities in support of nuclear nonproliferation as members of the US Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration Consortium for Monitoring Technology and Verification. We also support NASA experiments on the effects of ionizing radiation on bateria survival relevant to Europan Orbiter Lander missions.
Past group members have research neutron detection and reactions, non-destructive analysis, the physics of fission, and advanced detector data analysis methods.
