About

Dr. Anna Selivanova is a leading researcher in the field of radiation detection and nuclear security, with a particular focus on the integration of advanced detector technologies with autonomous robotic systems. Her work centers on the development and application of Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors, which offer superior energy resolution and room-temperature operation, making them ideal for field deployment. Dr. Selivanova’s major contributions include pioneering the use of CZT detectors on unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for the remote identification and localization of radioactive materials. Her seminal paper, "The use of a CZT detector with robotic systems" (2020), has garnered 10 citations, establishing a foundational methodology for mobile radiation sensing. She further advanced this field with her 2023 study on identifying shielded sources—a critical challenge in nuclear forensics and homeland security—demonstrated through a UGV-mounted CZT system. This work has significant implications for safe, rapid response to radiological threats. Dr. Selivanova’s research bridges the gap between detector physics and practical robotics, earning her recognition as a key innovator in autonomous radiation monitoring.
