The National Science Foundation awarded a $249,392 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Dallas to support the development of scalable solid state neutron and gamma detectors for diverse industrial applications under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The two-year award, issued on July 15, 2021 and set to be completed by June 30, 2023, will fund research to advance neutron and gamma detection technologies using solid state materials. Specifically, the University of Texas at Dallas will work to develop scalable solid state detector designs that can be customized for a variety of industrial sectors, including nondestructive testing, homeland security, oil and gas exploration, and nuclear power. The Engineering program aims to foster innovation in engineering research and education to improve quality of life and economic strength. This award supports those goals by supporting the creation of new detection technologies with diverse commercial applications.
