Congratulations to Rui and Yeasin on this well-deserved achievement!
Rui Fang (Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences) delivered two presentations at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Health Physics Society (HPS 2026) in National Harbor, Maryland, with titles: “Bibliometric Analysis of Research Articles in Health Physics Journal from 1958–2025” and “A Novel Computer Program for Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA).” Her participation in the conference was supported by a student travel grant she recently received from the Health Physics Society.
Fang is a Ph.D. student in the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Program with a subfield in medical physics. Her research is conducted under the supervision of Dr. Zaijing Sun in the research group of Health, Environment, and Radiation Detection (HERD).
Thomas Knoblauch (Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences) presented his research at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Health Physics Society (HPS 2026) in National Harbor, Maryland. His presentation, titled “From Toe Tags to Triage: Rapid PNAD-Based Neutron Dose Estimation for Post-criticality Emergency Response,” highlighted a rapid neutron dose assessment method for emergency response following criticality accidents.
Thomas is a Ph.D. student in the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences program at UNLV. He is also a health physicist employed by Mission Support and Test Services (MSTS) at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). His research is conducted under the supervision of Dr. Zaijing Sun in the Health, Environment, and Radiation Detection (HERD) Research Group.
Rui Fang (Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences) delivered a presentation at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Council on Ionizing Radiation Measurements and Standards (CIRMS) in Rockville, Maryland, titled “A New Online Program for Neutron Activation Analysis.” Rui is a Ph.D. student in the interdisciplinary health sciences program, with a subfield of medical physics. Her research is conducted under the guidance of Dr. Zaijing Sun in the Group of Health, Environment, and Radiation Detection.
Zaijing Sun (Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences) was recently invited by his collaborators in the College of Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he presented a seminar on the development of a remote gamma spectra collection system using a high-purity germanium detector integrated with a CosmicGuard system. This research was supported by the UNR–UNLV partnership program through the UNR Extension.
