Lukas Rademacher is a research associate in the Nuclear Verification and Disarmament group at the RWTH Aachen University. He holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in physics from the same university.

In his master’s thesis, he investigated the reconstruction of a nuclear reactor’s operational history from present-day measurements of its structural materials – work falling into the field of nuclear archaeology. In VeSPoTec, his main interest is in how such technical analysis can be effectively embedded in real-world verification scenarios, with treaty stipulations and technical solutions reciprocally informing and pushing developments.
