معرفی
Jake McCoy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at Pennsylvania State University. His work focuses on X-ray spectroscopy, reflection gratings, and nanofabrication for space-based instruments. He contributes to missions like the Water Recovery X-ray Rocket and OGRE (Off-plane Grating Rocket Experiment).
Research Highlights:
- Developed thermally activated selective topography equilibration techniques for X-ray reflection gratings
- Validated sol-gel resist shrinkage methods for precision optics
- Worked on diffraction efficiency optimization for small-period gratings
Technical Expertise spans UV spectroscopy, grating design, and NASA-standard telemetry. His 2024 publications on Mid-IR gratings and OGRE alignment strategies demonstrate ongoing contributions to space instrument development. Collaborations with groups like the McEntaffer Lab and SPIE projects highlight his role in advancing astrophysical instrumentation.
