Infrared detectors, focal plane arrays, and sensing technologies

Due: May 1, 2025

$100,000

Description

As we enter this new age where the barrier to access space has never been lower, the technologies that enable various space-based missions are being reevaluated in light of evolving requirements and constraints. The Air Force Research Lab's Advanced Electro-Optical Space Sensors program researches infrared focal plane array technologies with particular emphasis on radiation hardness for space applications and manufacturability to outfit the proliferated satellite sensing architectures of tomorrow. Our research group has capabilit...

Grantor Contact InformationPreston Thomas Webster, 505 846 2178Grantor Emailpreston.webster.2@spaceforce.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
