About

Wouter Schroeyers is a nuclear scientist whose research sits at the intersection of radiation detection, gamma-ray imaging, and the automation of radiological characterization — fields of growing urgency as aging nuclear facilities worldwide face decommissioning. His work addresses one of the most technically demanding challenges in nuclear safety: the precise identification and localization of radioactive hotspots in complex, potentially hazardous environments. Schroeyers has made notable contributions to advanced gamma-ray imaging systems, including the development of a lightweight Compton imaging system integrated with 3D LiDAR camera technology for efficient hotspot localization, and an optimized back-projection algorithm for single-layer Compton cameras. His research into minimal detection times using CdZnTe spectrometers has provided practical guidance for real-world decommissioning workflows, helping to optimize measurement strategies across isotopes including ²⁴¹Am, ¹³⁷Cs, and ⁶⁰Co. He has also contributed to the development of semi-autonomous robotic platforms designed to reduce human radiation exposure during nuclear site characterization. With citations accumulating across publications in radiation instrumentation and nuclear decommissioning, Schroeyers represents an emerging voice in applied nuclear science, bridging detector physics with robotics and real-world safety applications.
