Nonproliferation monitoring technologies and intelligence analysis
- Miniature Distributed Detector Arrays Mounted on a Biological Sensor Platform
- We propose an integrated nuclear detection system utilizing cockroach-based sensor platforms. The system is able to detect, collect, and predict activities that are related to nuclear weapons and dirty bombs.

- Post Nuclear Event Attribution and Nuclear Forensics
- Developing computational and experimental methods for solving inverse problems for determining pre-event material attributes using post-event signatures and developing forensics capabilities to determine the origin of seized materials. Progress on techniques for determining nuclear facility histories from activation signatures

- Terrorism Pathway Analysis and Assessments
- Development of tools to analyze the most likely paths a terrorist organization might take toward the acquisition of a nuclear or radiological weapon and assessing the challenges posed to a terrorist organization.

- Transparency Methods Development using Fission Product Signatures
- A method for unique identification of spent nuclear fuel has been developed in order to enhance transparency in international safeguards. The method relies on distinguishable differences in fission product concentrations produced in the spent fuel as a result of variations reactor power history.
