Instrumentation
Over the years, I have developed a passion for scientific instrumentation mainly for two reasons:
Research instruments enable new discoveries and also help validate existing knowledge
(important for society and people)
They often involve designing new systems (custom sensors and electronics), troubleshooting, and prototyping
(important for me)
I have worked on a number of pixel array detectors (PAD) development projects at Cornell University. These detectors are often used in imaging applications at Synchrotron and Electron Microscopes.
