About

S. Majetic is a researcher specializing in the detection of landmines and residual explosives, with a focus on advancing humanitarian demining technologies. Their key contributions center on the development and refinement of robotic mobile systems that utilize fast neutron activation methods for the safe and effective identification of buried threats. In their seminal 2011 work, "Inspecting Minefields and Residual Explosives by Fast Neutron Activation Method," Majetic demonstrated the feasibility of using a 14 MeV fast neutron probe as an upgrade for robotic clearance systems, achieving 17 citations. This foundational study established a non-contact approach to detecting both mines and explosive residues. Building on this, their 2014 paper, "Improved System for Inspecting Minefields and Residual Explosives," introduced a next-generation system that enhanced the methodology by integrating associated alpha particle imaging (API) for more precise localization. Although the citation counts for these works are modest, their impact is significant within the niche field of explosive ordnance disposal, where safety and accuracy are paramount. Majetic’s work represents a critical step toward automating and improving the reliability of minefield inspection, directly contributing to efforts to reduce the humanitarian toll of landmines worldwide.
