Biography

Mark Hammig is a Research Scientist in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan. His scientific work focuses on several key areas, including the development of nanostructured semiconducting materials for enhanced photonic particle sensing and research on stochastic systems. He is involved in various cutting-edge projects, such as the detection of high explosives using neutron interrogation and imaging radiation-induced electron clouds with silicon detectors. His research also delves into charge-carrier transport in condensed matter, the mitigation of noise in electrical oscillators through active control, and the study of optical-solid interactions for applications in photonic thrusting. Additionally, he is working on developing high-resolution, low-cost radiation detectors utilizing lead cadmium chalcogenide semiconducting materials, as well as the long-range detection of nuclear materials by laser-based interrogation of surrounding air.
