Dr. Steven Biegalski NRE/MP Programs Director |
Dr. Sharmistha Mukhopadhyay RSEL and Ops Manager |
| Steven Biegalski is the Chair of Nuclear and Radiological Engineering and Medical Physics Program at Georgia Institute of Technology. He has three degrees in nuclear engineering from University of Maryland, University of Florida, and University of Illinois, respectively. Early in his career Dr. Biegalski was the Director of Radionuclide Operations at the Center for Monitoring Research. In this position Dr. Biegalski led international efforts to develop and implement radionuclide effluent monitoring technologies. This work supported both US national capabilities and international treaties. Dr. Biegalski was a faculty member at The University of Texas at Austin for 15 years and held the position of Reactor Director for The University of Texas at Austin TRIGA reactor for over a decade. He has advised 25 Ph.D. students to graduation and holds Professional Engineering licenses in the states of Texas and Virginia. |

Dr. Eric S. Elder Professor, Emory University and Director. |
Dr. Anna Erickson NRE/MP Professor, Associate Chair for Research |
| Dr. Elder’s research centers on techniques for adaptive radiation therapy, adjustments to a patients radiation treatment caused by changes in patient position, anatomy, or motion or due to tumor response. His visualization methods for these changes include 3D and 4D computed tomography and linear accelerator mounted cone beam computed tomography, radiography, and respiratory gated fluoroscopy and radiography. After visualization and tumor delineation, treatment planning is performed to adapt treatment properly. His work also explores use of electronic portal dosimetry to measure exit dose. Dr. Elder serves as joint faculty with Emory University and Georgia Tech. | Prof. Anna Erickson earned her M.S. and Ph.D. in Nuclear Science and Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2008 and 2011, respectively. Her research is focused on bridging a critical gap between the reactor engineering and nuclear nonproliferation communities by integrating theoretical reactor analysis and design and experimental detection. She is a co-author of Active Interrogation in Nuclear Security: Science, Technology, and Systems, published by Nature Springer in 2018, and over a hundred of journal publications, conference proceedings and presentations. |
