About

Monia Kazemeini is a researcher specializing in remote radiation sensing, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and nuclear detection technologies. Her work sits at a critical intersection of robotics, sensor integration, and radiation safety, addressing the urgent need to protect personnel from hazardous radiological and nuclear environments. Kazemeini's most significant contributions center on deploying advanced radiation detectors — including CZT and CLYC scintillators capable of simultaneous gamma-ray and neutron detection — onto robotic platforms such as UAS and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). Her most cited work, "Low-altitude contour mapping of radiation fields using UAS swarm" (2019, 20 citations), demonstrated how coordinated drone swarms could generate detailed radiation field maps, a breakthrough for nuclear site monitoring and emergency response. She has also pioneered plug-and-play sensor architectures and ROS-based integration frameworks, making radiation detection systems more adaptable across diverse robotic platforms. Beyond aerial systems, Kazemeini has investigated radiation effects on robotic electronics, providing crucial insights into operational limitations in high-dose environments. With a growing body of work accumulating nearly 60 citations, her research meaningfully advances environmental safety, nuclear security, and the practical deployment of autonomous systems in radiologically challenging scenarios — making her a valuable voice in applied nuclear sensing technology.
