Kim Siang recently participated in the Muography Workshop 2024, held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, from November 4-8. He presented the latest advancements in the Shanghai Muography Project, a collaboration with the Shanghai Urban Planning and Natural Resources Bureau. The workshop was an inspiring gathering, uniting researchers from universities and institutes to share their progress, alongside industry representatives who showcased innovative business strategies and state-of-the-art products. In addition to exploring advancements in muon detection technologies, participants gained valuable insights into geology and archaeology, particularly the history of pyramids around the world. A standout session was K. Borozdin’s timely talk on balancing commercialization and fundamental research in muography, which provided essential guidance as our group navigates this evolving field and strives to integrate both perspectives effectively.
