Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDouglas Manatt is a radiation detection scientist with over three decades of hands-on experience designing and deploying advanced detector systems for nuclear materials detection, safeguards, and homeland security. Based in Rancho Santa Fe, he combines deep expertise in semiconductor, scintillator, and ionization techniques with practical field and accelerator/reactor measurement experience to deliver solutions that identify, localize, and quantify illicit materials. His career spans national labs and industry—most notably long tenures at Lawrence Livermore and roles at SAIC and General Atomics—plus an independent consultancy since 2011 that helps clients save time and cost on complex measurement challenges. Douglas blends technical breadth (gamma spectroscopy, instrumentation, radiochemistry, programming, and information security) with a pragmatic focus on reliability and risk-informed safeguards. Unusually for his field, he pairs laboratory-scale detector R&D with real-world system integration and project management, enabling both novel designs and deployable systems.
