Research summary
AI-generated

Junghyun Bae works on radiation detection and imaging methods, with a strong focus on cosmic-ray muon tomography (using naturally occurring particles called muons to image the inside of objects without cutting them open) and gamma-ray spectroscopy for nuclear material monitoring. Recent work applies machine learning to improve position and trajectory reconstruction in detectors, with applications to nuclear safeguards, spent nuclear fuel monitoring, and cargo inspection. This research sits at the intersection of nuclear engineering, detector physics, and applied data analysis.
