Engineering security systems are an important area
of research to the State of Nevada and to the nation
as a whole.
UNLV researchers address many challenges related
to security engineering, including blast
containment, shock mitigation, and smart grid
security. Our researchers have been funded by
various federal and state agencies as well as
industrial partners.
We would like to introduce you to some of our
faculty. Please contact us if we can help with future
collaboration.

Why UNLV?
•
•
•
•
Las Vegas is a dynamic city with a population that
includes multiple ethnicities and age groups.
UNLV has a strong team of researchers who collaborate
on various areas of security engineering studies.
UNLV researchers also have developed strong
collaboration ties with key industrial partners including:
• National Security Technologies, LLC (NSTec)
NSTec manages operations at the Nevada National
Security Site (NNSS) – formerly known as the
Nevada Test Site – and its related facilities and
laboratories for the Department of Energy's National
Nuclear Security Administration.
• Varian Medical Systems
Varian's Security and Inspection Products group,
based in Las Vegas, provides cargo screening
systems with linear accelerators for X-ray imaging
for cargo screening operations.
UNLV is in the process of acquiring a linear accelerator,
K9, used for various applications, including cargo
imaging for Homeland Security and U.S. Customs; we are
also involved in radio-pharmaceutical production and
medium-to-high dose rate research.
