About
Justina A. M. Freilich is a nuclear engineer whose research focuses on advancing radiation safety through the integration of robotic and remote systems into nuclear operations. Her work bridges computational modeling and practical dosimetry, with a particular emphasis on reducing occupational radiation exposure. In her most cited study, she compared MCNP and Microshield simulations to quantify dose savings achievable by deploying remote characterization methods for transuranic contamination—demonstrating how technologies traditionally reserved for high-risk environments can be safely extended to moderate- and low-risk tasks. This contribution is critical as the nuclear industry seeks to minimize worker dose while maintaining operational efficiency. Although early in her career, Freilich’s work has already garnered attention for its practical implications in radiation protection and waste management. Her research sits at the intersection of nuclear engineering, health physics, and robotics, offering a forward-looking approach to contamination characterization. As the field moves toward greater automation, Freilich’s findings provide a foundational framework for evaluating the safety and efficacy of remote systems in nuclear environments, marking her as a promising voice in modern radiological engineering.
