Bio
Jaap Velthuis is an associate professor in physics at the University of Bristol. Jaap started working on muon tomography in 2009 in a project to detect lumps of high-Z material hidden in shipping containers using cosmic rays to prevent nuclear devices being smuggled into the country. The technique that was developed is amongst others also applicable for nuclear waste management. Jaap built detectors and has developed algorithms to identify the material and measure the size of small objects embedded in concrete. This is being further developed in CHANCE. In parallel, he is developing muon tomography techniques for structural integrity tests of large concrete structures.
