Hash Hashemian: Visionary leadership
As Dr. Hashem M. “Hash” Hashemian prepares to step into his term as President of the American Nuclear Society, he is clear that he wants to make the most of this unique moment.
A groundswell in public approval of nuclear is finding a home in growing governmental support that is backed by a tailwind of technological innovation. “Now is a good time to be in nuclear,” Hashemian said, as he explained the criticality of this moment and what he hoped to accomplish as president.

A computer program was developed using the MATLAB programming language to simulate the electronics readout for a radiation detector system. The function of each stage of this system is described by a mathematical model in the Laplace domain. The electrical signals have been shown and analyzed at two main outputs of the system. They are described according to their related circuit parameters. The obtained results of the simulation can be used to achieve a best design of the concerned circuits and to provide appropriate details about the system operation. Validation of the simulated signals by comparison with available experimental results has been achieved.
