About
Gerben Kijne is a researcher at the forefront of nuclear decommissioning and robotic sensing technologies. His work centers on the development and application of laser-based spectroscopic techniques—specifically Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman spectroscopy—integrated with robotic platforms for hazardous environment characterization. Kijne’s most cited paper, "Robotic arm material characterisation using LIBS and Raman in a nuclear hot cell decommissioning environment" (2021, 32 citations), demonstrates a pioneering approach to remotely identifying and analyzing contaminated materials within active nuclear facilities. This contribution is critical for reducing human exposure to radiation while enabling precise, real-time material classification. By combining robotic manipulation with advanced optical diagnostics, Kijne has advanced the safety and efficiency of decommissioning processes, directly impacting waste management strategies in the nuclear industry. His work bridges the gap between fundamental spectroscopy and practical field deployment, offering a blueprint for future autonomous inspection systems. Kijne’s research not only addresses immediate challenges in nuclear legacy cleanup but also sets the stage for broader applications in remote sensing and hazardous material analysis.
