Year: 2019

Andrew LaBella is awarded the 2019 Valentin T. Jordanov Radiation Instrumentation Travel Grant. Andy is the first author on all three papers accepted from Goldan Lab at the IEEE NSS/MIC conference in Manchester, UK. The papers cover topics ranging from our revolutionary and patented Prism-PET technology for ultra-high spatial resolution and ultra-high sensitivity TOF-DOI-Compton PET,…Continue Reading August 2019

Dr. Goldan has received a new NIH grant entitled “SWAD: Large-Area Photon Counting X-Ray Imager Using Amorphous Selenium”. In this NIH R01 grant, we proposed to develop a prototype hyperspectral photon counting imager using the field-Shaping multi-Well Avalanche Detector (SWAD) for high spatial resolution contrast-enhanced x-ray breast imaging. Given that the photosensor material is amorphous, the…Continue Reading July 2019

Andrew LaBella publishes his first paper on “Picosecond Time Resolution with Avalanche Amorphous Selenium.”This paper appeared as a supplementary cover in ACS Photonics, vol. 6, issue 6. Congratulations Andy! Picosecond timing in an avalanche amorphous selenium semiconductor is achieved by implementing Nano-Frisch grids along the collecting electrode to form a multiwell structure. The induced photocurrent…Continue Reading March 2019
