Alexander Glaser

Alexander Glaser is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University. His research focuses on Applied Physics, particularly in the areas of nuclear-fuel-cycle technologies, nuclear energy, and nuclear-weapon proliferation. Glaser's work examines technical and policy aspects of nuclear energy and nonproliferation initiatives, including safeguards, detection of clandestine enrichment activities, and multinational control of enrichment plants. He is also involved in nuclear forensics and nuclear archaeology, aiming to verify nuclear disarmament and assess the feasibility of verifying declarations of past nuclear material production. Glaser is affiliated with the Program in Science and Global Security and contributes to research on international security and climate change.

Alexander Glaser is a scholar at Princeton University specializing in nuclear energy, nuclear policy, nuclear arms control, nuclear nonproliferation, and climate change. His research focuses on the verification of nuclear warheads, the proliferation risks associated with uranium enrichment, and the development of secure nuclear technologies. Glaser's work includes analyzing the characteristics of gas centrifuges for uranium enrichment, assessing the proliferation potential of research reactors, and exploring the role of nuclear energy in mitigating climate change. His publications emphasize the importance of balancing nuclear energy's risks with its potential for clean energy solutions.
