EE - Comparative Study of Infrared Imaging Sensors

Prof. Bernstein and Dr. Szakmany in the Electrical Engineering Department are seeking a motivated junior or senior undergraduate student to participate in their infrared nanoantenna research project. The work focuses on infrared (IR) detectors and involves conducting a comprehensive literature review on the fundamental operating principles of IR imagers and their key performance metrics.
The selected student will work closely with Prof. Bernstein and be responsible for surveying peer-reviewed scientific literature, reviewing technical specifications from commercial IR camera manufacturers, and gathering relevant technical reports and additional information on IR imaging systems. The student will produce a written report and prepare presentation slides comparing various IR imagers, from near/short-wave IR to long-wave IR sensors.
