About
Michael Fennell is a researcher whose work centers on the development of advanced radiation detection and imaging systems, with a particular focus on scintillation sensor arrays and gamma-ray source localization. His most notable contribution is the conceptual demonstration of the RadSITEtrade innovation—a geometrically optimized LaBr3:Ce scintillation sensor array designed for enhanced stand-off direction finding of gamma radiation sources. This system represents a significant breakthrough in remote sensing, enabling the simultaneous detection, identification, and azimuth localization of multiple gamma sources from a distance. The innovation leverages the superior energy resolution of lanthanum bromide crystals to achieve high-precision directional information, a critical capability for nuclear security, environmental monitoring, and defense applications. While his most-cited paper has accumulated 5 citations, the practical implications of his work—particularly in real-time, stand-off radiation source targeting—underscore its importance in advancing field-deployable radiological detection technologies. Fennell’s research bridges materials science, sensor design, and signal processing, offering a compelling solution for scenarios requiring rapid, remote identification of radioactive threats.
