معرفی
Omid Noroozian is a Visiting Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, where he works as a civil servant research engineer in the Detector Systems branch (code 553). His work focuses on developing advanced low-noise electro-optical instrumentation and superconducting detector technologies for astrophysics and remote sensing applications from space and balloon-based platforms.
His research spans ultrasensitive superconducting detectors such as Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs), Transition-Edge Sensors (TES), Bolometers, and x-ray/gamma-ray calorimeters. He also develops low-temperature electronic readout and multiplexing circuits, on-chip photonic spectrometers for mid- to far-IR spectroscopy, heterodyne receivers, and quantum-limited wide-band amplifiers.
Dr. Noroozian has led major instrumentation projects including the development of the MUSIC imaging array and the µ-Spec spectrometer chip. His work supports future NASA mission concepts such as the Origins Space Telescope, Lynx, HabEx, and LUVOIR. He has collaborated extensively with institutions including Caltech/JPL, NIST, SRON, TU-Delft, UC Berkeley, UVA, JHU, and UMD.
Scientific Awards:
- Roman Technology Fellowship (NASA)
He has mentored research teams and led laboratory development at NRAO and NASA, though no formal students are listed. His technological innovations have enabled scalable detector arrays and next-generation receiver systems for ground and space telescopes.
