About

Davorin Sudac is a leading researcher in the field of nuclear detection techniques, with a primary focus on landmine clearance and the detection of explosive residues. His major contributions center on the development of advanced robotic mobile systems that utilize fast neutron activation methods to identify buried anti-personnel mines and residual explosives. In his highly cited 2011 work, Sudac demonstrated the feasibility of using a 14 MeV fast neutron probe to detect mines and explosive residues in laboratory settings, laying the groundwork for safer, automated demining operations. He further advanced this technology in his 2014 study, where he introduced an improved second-generation system that replaced the earlier alpha particle imaging (API) method with enhanced detection capabilities. These innovations have significant implications for humanitarian demining, offering a non-contact, efficient approach to clearing minefields. With his papers garnering 17 and 8 citations respectively, Sudac’s work is recognized for its practical impact on safety and environmental remediation. His achievements include pioneering the integration of neutron activation into robotic platforms, marking a notable step forward in explosive detection technology.
