Thomas Knoblauch (Health Physics and Diagnostic Sciences) presented his research at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Health Physics Society (HPS 2026) in National Harbor, Maryland. His presentation, titled "From Toe Tags to Triage: Rapid PNAD-Based Neutron Dose Estimation for Post-criticality Emergency Response," highlighted a rapid neutron dose assessment method for emergency response following criticality accidents.

Thomas is a Ph.D. student in the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences program at UNLV. He is also a health physicist employed by Mission Support and Test Services (MSTS) at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). His research is conducted under the supervision of Dr. Zaijing Sun in the Health, Environment, and Radiation Detection (HERD) Research Group.
