For 6 years, he led the computed tomography project at LLNL, applying computed tomography and X-ray and proton radiography to material characterization and gamma-ray gauge techniques to treaty verification activities. As center director, his projects included the use of nonintrusive X-ray and gamma-ray computed tomography techniques as three-dimensional imaging tools to understand material properties and analyze radioactive waste forms.

His experi ence in microdosimetry research led him to develop the tissue-equivalent propor tional counter systems currently used for radiation dosimetry on the International Space Station. In order to study the biological changes that occur at low doses, he developed the first single particle microbeam irradiation system, as well as other specialized irradiation equipment, and continues to work with biologists to study dose and dose rate effects as well as the bystander effect.

His methodological research addresses problems related to stochastic sequential assignment when there is un certainty in the model inputs, and the design of novel exact algorithms for hard discrete optimization problems based on the cross-fertilization of traditional search methods like branch and bound with memory.

Sardela also holds two positions regarding safety policies and supervision. He is currently a co-chair of the Safety Committee at the Materials Research Laboratory in charge of overseeing and determining safety policies of all scientific work in the entire department, involv ing X-rays and laser radiation in addition to chemical and biological materials.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded projects in stochastic modeling of worker inhalation and gamma-ray exposures following radiological accidents and potential terrorist events. He is the recipient of the 2014 Distinguish Scientific Achievement Award by the Health Physics Society acknowledging outstanding contributions to the science and technology of radiation safety.
