Jason Hayward, an assistant professor of nuclear engineering, was this month awarded $1.5 million over five years by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to develop Cherenkov glasses for detection of penetrating radiation. Hayward received his Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan in 2007. In his first 16 months at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Hayward has submitted over 20 proposals and has received awards totaling over $2.5 million. He has also led the development of a new graduate certificate in Nuclear Security Science and Analysis. He holds a joint faculty appointment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
