About

V. Valkovic is a distinguished physicist whose research centers on nuclear analytical techniques, explosive detection, and humanitarian demining. His most significant contributions lie in developing advanced radiation-based systems for locating landmines and residual explosives, addressing critical global security and humanitarian challenges. His 2014 work on an "Improved System for Inspecting Minefields and Residual Explosives" (8 citations) represents a key advancement, upgrading a robotic mobile platform for anti-personnel landmine clearance. This next-generation system notably replaced the earlier fast neutron activation method and associated alpha particle imaging (API) with more effective approaches for detecting buried explosives. Valkovic's research has been instrumental in bridging nuclear physics with practical field applications, enhancing the safety and efficiency of minefield clearance operations. His work continues to influence the development of non-invasive detection technologies, making him a respected figure in applied nuclear science and humanitarian engineering.
