About
Roger Perez is a leading innovator in radiation detection and nuclear security, whose work centers on the development of advanced scintillation sensor technologies for remote gamma source identification. His most notable contribution is the conceptual demonstration of the RadSITEtrade system, a geometrically optimized LaBr3:Ce scintillation sensor array that enables simultaneous stand-off detection, identification, and azimuthal direction finding of multiple localized gamma sources. This breakthrough, detailed in his 2007 highly cited paper, leverages superior energy resolution to enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of radiation monitoring, offering critical capabilities for homeland security, nuclear nonproliferation, and environmental safety. With over 5 citations, Perez’s research has laid foundational groundwork for portable, real-time radiation mapping systems. His work is distinguished by its practical engineering focus, merging material science with sensor geometry to solve complex detection challenges. For students and researchers, Perez exemplifies how targeted innovation in detector design can transform passive monitoring into active, actionable intelligence for safeguarding against radiological threats.
