BIO:
Dr. Erickson began at Georgia Tech in November 2012. She is the founder and Principal Investigator of LANNS research group. Prior to joining GT, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Advanced Detectors Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory after accomplishing her PhD study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She was promoted to full professor in 2022 for her outstanding achievements and dedication to the Woodruff School and Georgia Tech!
RESEARCH:
Dr. Erickson’s primary focus is on advanced detector design and analysis, especially as applied to safety and non-proliferation. She is involved in fast reactor remote monitoring using antineutrinos, fuel characterization through fission product signatures for non-proliferation applications, and non-traditional detector design and characterization, including Cherenkov counters and robust detectors. Her teaching interests are in advanced experimental detection for reactor and nuclear nonproliferation applications, radiation dosimetry and fast reactor analysis.
