Project overview
Radiation is all around us as a result of naturally occurring radioactive materials, while these items give off safe and very low levels of ionising radiation, greater levels are found and used across science, industry, and manufacturing. Training people to safely handle and protect themselves from radiological hazards being a major challenge, taking time, expense and risking potential contamination. This project explores if Bluetooth sensors combined with smartphones can provide a low-cost training solution to enable safe radiological protection and response training.
Dr Martin is an Academy Research Fellow in the School of Physics at the University of Bristol. His research programme seeks to develop more responsive, higher-resolution, and lower-cost platforms for detecting and preventing the unauthorised movement of radioactive materials, and the radiological monitoring networks in which they reside.

Wireless communication is fascinating because it has changed our way of life and brought us closer to every corner of the world. Junlan chose Electrical and Electronic Engineering to study as an undergraduate at University of Bristol. Interested in electromagnetic radiation, Junlan hopes to contribute to human health during their studies.
