About
D. Ramsden is a pioneering figure in the development of portable radiation detection and imaging systems, with a primary research focus on gamma-ray vision technologies for robotic and field applications. His most significant contribution lies in the design and characterization of compact, wide-angle gamma-ray detectors that can be transported by robots, enabling remote visualisation of radioactive sources in hazardous environments. In his seminal 1995 paper, "Portable wide-angle γ-ray vision systems," Ramsden introduced a system featuring an array of 37 CsI(Na) scintillation crystals coupled to a single 5-inch position-sensitive photomultiplier tube (PSPMT), achieving 24 citations for its foundational impact. This work, later refined in 2002, demonstrated how such detectors could provide real-time, wide-field gamma-ray imaging, effectively giving robots "gamma-ray vision." Ramsden’s innovations have been instrumental in advancing nuclear security, decommissioning, and environmental monitoring, offering a safer alternative to human inspection. His research has garnered over 28 citations across these key papers, reflecting its influence on the field of radiation imaging and robotics.
