Douglas McGregor

Prof. McGregor holds the rank of University Distinguished Professor at Kansas State University (KSU) and has over 30 years of experience in the fields of radiation detection and measurement, semiconductor device theory and fabrication, semiconductor radiation detector design, semiconductor fabrication and characterization. He teaches radiation detection and detector design at the undergraduate and graduate levels. He conducts design, fabrication, and characterization of radiation detectors and systems at KSU and is the director of the Semiconductor Materials and Radiological Technologies (SMART) Laboratory. He is skilled at fabricating devices from numerous semiconductors and is recognized as an expert on semiconductor radiation detector design, fabrication and characterization. He holds records for room-temperature gamma-ray spectrometers and solid state thermal neutron detectors, has introduced novel concepts for neutron detection devices and single polarity sensitive radiation detectors, and has received five R&D 100 awards (2005, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2017) for novel radiation detector designs. He has performed as a consultant for numerous private and government agencies. Prof. McGregor has authored or co-authored over 200 research publications on radiation detectors, five radiation detection book chapters, and has 21 allowed US utility patents on radiation detectors with 3 more patents pending.
