RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP AWARD Prof. Julien de Troullioud de Lanversin Assistant Professor, PPOL PROJECT TITLE: Verification methods for nuclear weapon testing activities AWARDING INSTITUTION: The Institute on Peace Research and Security Policy (IFSH) at the University of Hamburg PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project focuses on advancing research related to the verification of nuclear subcritical tests conducted by states, ensuring compliance with the current moratorium on nuclear testing. The objective is to develop scientific methods that enhance the ability to accurately assess these tests, contributing to the broader field of nuclear non-proliferation and arms control. The project will also emphasize engagement with key stakeholders, including German parliament members and experts from the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO). Through this engagement, the research aims to facilitate discussions on findings and insights, fostering collaboration between academic research and policy-making to strengthen regulatory frameworks governing nuclear activities. Additionally, the project includes the preparation of grant proposals targeting funding sources such as the German Research Foundation and the Stanton Foundation. These proposals will focus on securing resources to expand research capabilities and support further investigations in the critical area of nuclear verification and compliance. 13 GRANT
