Mózsi Kiss is a Researcher at the Department of PARTICLE, ASTROPHYSICS & MED IMAG at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Their work focuses on hard X-ray and gamma-ray polarimetry, particularly through balloon-borne missions like XL-Calibur and PoGO+. They contribute to the design, calibration, and operation of advanced detectors for studying astrophysical sources such as pulsars, X-ray binaries, and neutron stars.

Research interests include Compton polarimetry techniques, payload engineering for space missions, and interpreting observational data to understand cosmic phenomena like accretion disk dynamics and jet emission mechanisms. Recent work has emphasized optimizing instruments like the XL-Calibur telescope and anticoincidence shield to enhance signal detection and reduce background noise.

Key contributions include analyzing polarization measurements of the Crab Nebula and Pulsar, Bayesian analysis of PoGO+ mission data, and advancing the SPHiNX small satellite mission for gamma-ray burst polarimetry. Ongoing efforts involve refining detector systems and preparing for future missions targeting high-energy astrophysical sources.
