The core principles of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) are to prevent a the development and acquisition of nuclear weapons, and to reach complete disarmament. But, argues Cecilia Gustavsson, without improved transparency and independent verification mechanisms, the NPT could, paradoxically, accelerate a new nuclear arms race
Associate Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University, Sweden
Cecilia is an experimental physicist, specialising in applied nuclear physics.
She has worked with accelerator-based neutron-induced experiments, primarily neutron-proton scattering and light-ion production.
Cecilia has also taken part in several projects researching radioactivity transport in biological and geological samples with the use of gamma ray spectroscopy.
In recent years, she has focused on researching disarmament of nuclear weapons at the Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament at Uppsala University, Sweden.
This research spans from nuclear archaeology to investigating experimental methods for verification of disarmament.
