- Significant contributions to the establishment of SEE measurement user facilities at various accelerators (Crocker Nuclear Lab, Indiana University Cyclotron Facility, Brookhaven National Lab SEUTF, Chalk River Tandem Superconducting Cyclotron, Michigan State University National Superconducting Cyclotron Facility)
- The impact of heavy ion track structure on SEE and development of analytic track structure code (TRKRAD); First ever and detail study and comparison of SEE differences between low and high energy heavy ions
- The impact of high energy protons on SEE and development of the modified 2-parameter Bendel function
- Temperature effects in modulating SEE and the study of SEE due to direct proton ionization at low temperature
- The study and development of advanced low dose rate measurement and analysis techniques in the furtherance of utilizing advanced commercial microelectronics in the natural radiation environment.
- First ever detailed study of the radiation transport and shielding characteristics of advanced composite materials
- First ever study of the effects of ionizing radiation in commercial MEMs devices
- Development of advanced qualification techniques and study of application-dependence in advanced commercial microelectronics such as microprocessors and DSPs.
- Detailed study of differences between 60Co g and energetic proton effects in optocouplers
- Flight qualification of a wide range of targets and for a number of operational programs, ranging from discrete materials (fiberoptic cable, high temperature superconductors, etc), simple linear devices (A/D, D/A, OpAmp, etc), to leading edge (microprocessors, DSP, FPGA, VHSIC).
- Widely published in various forums (IEEE Nuclear & Space Radiation Effects Conference, Radiation and Environmental Effects Forum, Single Event Symposium, Government Microcircuits and Applications Conference, Hardened Electronics and Radiation Tolerant Conference, Journal of Applied Physics, Nuclear Instruments & Methods), and participation in national steering groups and committees for the development of policy and national/international radiation effects methodologies, standards, and specification.
