MANHATTAN The Radiological Systems Integration Laboratory at Kansas State University, in partnership with Radiation Detection Technologies Inc.,
Manhattan, has been awarded a nearly $1 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense Threat Reduction Agency to produce more compact and form-fitting circuits than can be achieved with printed circuit boards.
Heading the two-year project is Walter McNeil, assistant professor in the Alan Levin Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at K-State, where the portion of funding for the study, Discrete 3D Electronics for Radiation Detection Systems, will be $640,931.
McNeil directs the Radiological Systems Integration Laboratory that develops radiation-sensing systems, mechanical and electronic technology, and innovative sensing instrumentation that can be used in remote and rugged environments.
