Angelo Dragone serves as a Distinguished Staff Engineer at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, operated by Stanford University. He currently holds the dual leadership roles of Deputy Associate Lab Director for the Technology Innovation Directorate and Program Director for Detector R&D and Applied Microelectronics. Dr. Dragone also contributes to academic instruction as an instructor for Advanced Integrated Circuit Design (EE 214B) at Stanford University during the Winter quarter.
Dr. Dragone earned his Ph.D. in Microelectronics from the Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy, with research conducted at Brookhaven National Laboratory on mixed-signal readout architecture for radiation detectors. His professional journey includes working at Brookhaven National Laboratory from 2004 before transitioning to SLAC in 2008, where he has since established himself as a leader in detector technology.
With over two decades of experience in scientific instrumentation, Dr. Dragone's research focuses on innovative radiation detector systems with applications spanning multiple scientific domains. His work encompasses:
- Design of ultra-fast X-ray detector architectures for X-ray Free-Electron Lasers
- Development of high frame rate, large dynamic range detector systems
- Creation of efficient, scalable systems with real-time processing capabilities
- Exploration of fundamental performance limits in radiation detection systems
- Applications in photon science, particle physics, medical imaging, and national security
Dr. Dragone's publication record reveals a strategic evolution toward increasingly sophisticated detector technologies. His recent work demonstrates strong integration of advanced electronics with machine learning techniques for particle detection, while maintaining focus on practical implementation challenges in high-energy physics environments. The publications span fundamental physics measurements to cutting-edge circuit design, reflecting his dual expertise in both theoretical understanding and practical engineering solutions.
As head of the Integrated Circuits Department within SLAC's Instrumentation Division, Dr. Dragone leads strategic R&D planning for the SLAC X-ray detectors Initiative. His leadership extends to the Applied Microelectronics program, where he guides research directions that bridge academic inquiry with real-world scientific applications. Under his direction, these programs have made significant contributions to advancing detector technology for major scientific facilities.
