IMMEDIATE OPENING: GRA Position in Radiation Detection and Localization

The objectives of this research project are to develop neuromorphic computing algorithms, architectures, and components capable of energy-efficient analysis of data from mobile radiation detection platforms. We have so far developed, implemented, and tested a neuromorphic isotope identification as well as a localization architecture. For the remainder of the project, the GRA will propose, implement, and test a novel architecture that combines the existing identification and localization modules.

The position is funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The project is a collaboration with teams from the University of New Mexico.
