Jihye Jeon is a PhD student in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University. Prior to coming to Princeton, Jihye worked at the Korea Institute of Nuclear Nonproliferation and Control (KINAC) on nuclear safeguards and security policy. Jihye graduated from Seoul National University with a BS in Nuclear Engineering and a BA in English Language and Literature, and from Sejong University with an MS in Nuclear Engineering focused on radiation measurement and applications.
Research Interests
My principal research interests are in developing verification technologies for special nuclear materials. I am also interested in radiation detection application in various scenarios for nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation purposes. My current work investigates scintillation detectors coupled with photographic film as a preloadable detector. The study aims to determine whether this novel technology meets the requirements for zero-knowledge verification.
