Dr. Aalseth works in the area of radiation detection for nonproliferation and treaty verification, direct detection of dark matter, neutrino physics, and environmental radiotracers. He has developed signal processing methods for radiation detection, nuclear physics codes for multi-dimensional spectroscopic analysis, and new designs for ultra-low-background electronics, cryogenic systems, and radiation detectors. Dr. Aalseth received his B.S. in physics from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, and his Ph.D. in nuclear and astroparticle physics from the University of South Carolina.
