Let's introduce you to another one of our #Technology teams, the CMOS Sensor Design Group! 🙌
Led by STFC's Nicola Carlo Guerrini, CSDG is currently made up of seven designers, with two newly recruited graduates joining them in September.
Nicola himself joined STFC in 2005 after seven years as a researcher at the University of L'Aquila.
Nicola's team uses the technology developed for the ever-expanding mobile phone camera market to design complex image sensors for scientific applications.
Their particular expertise is in the design of pixels, radiation hard sensors, large-scale sensors, ultra-fast sensors, data converters, and high-speed I/O (input/output).
The group was the first to design a stitched CMOS sensor for cryo-electron microscopy, which led to a mini-revolution in the field.
Their contribution was even acknowledged by Nobel Laureate Richard Henderson as a part of his Nobel lecture in 2017.
CSDG's current projects include developing large-scale sensors for electron microscopy at 100 keV and sensors for particle physics experiments like ALICE and the Electron-Ion Collider.
In addition to contributing to such major international projects, the group also works closely with businesses in the UK - a great example of this is the KIRANA camera which is commercialised by specialised-imaging-limited.
