Abstract :
Shouleh Nikzad is a principal member of staff and a technical group supervisor and lead for the Advanced Detector Arrays and Nanosciences Group at NASA´s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Her research interests include high sensitivity ultraviolet and UV-NIR imaging arrays using silicon and III-nitride materials, low-energy particle detector arrays, photocathodes, quantum dot based devices, and novel detector concepts. In her tenure at JPL, she has initiated, developed, and managed successful detector and device programs including advanced n-channel p-type delta doped CCDs, extension of the CCD response for EUV and low energy particle detection, high-speed delta doped CCD camera, HAD, and human eye-inspired curved focal plane arrays. She has developed UV cameras for novel UV imaging devices and applications and her interests extend into bioapplications, medical imaging, and brain mapping.
