Selina Ringsborg Howalt Owe is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Space Research and Technology, National Space Institute (DTU Space), Technical University of Denmark. Her research focuses on radiation detector development for space astronomy and medical imaging applications, with current involvement in the i-RASE project on intelligent radiation sensor systems. Education: PhD in Space Research and Technology, Technical University of Denmark (2019-2024) Her research expertise centers on semiconductor radiation detectors, particularly Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe) and perovskite-based systems. She specializes in 3D drift strip detector design, pulse shape engineering, and high-resolution imaging for gamma-ray astronomy and molecular breast cancer diagnostics. Key technical contributions include optimizing electron mobility, energy resolution, and spatial resolution in detector systems operating at room temperature. Recent publications reveal a concentrated research trajectory in advanced detector technologies, with emphasis on theoretical modeling of CdZnTe performance, feasibility studies for space-based Compton cameras, and novel electrode configurations using perovskite crystals. These works bridge nuclear physics, materials science, and medical engineering, consistently targeting improvements in imaging precision for both astronomical observations and clinical diagnostics. Dr. Owe has participated in three major research projects: as PhD student in the 3D MBI project (2018-2021) developing breast imaging detectors, lead researcher in the 3D Imaging Detectors project (2019-2024) for high-energy astronomy, and current project participant in i-RASE (2024-2028) creating intelligent radiation sensor systems. Her work receives funding from Danish research councils with applications spanning European Space Agency missions and medical diagnostic technologies. She operates within DTU Space's detector development group, collaborating closely with Professor Irfan Kuvvetli and Dr. Carl Budtz-Jørgensen. The team maintains strong international partnerships with space agencies and medical research institutions, focusing on translating detector innovations into operational space instrumentation and clinical diagnostic tools.

Elliott Horch serves as Chairperson and CSU Professor of Physics at Southern Connecticut State University, where he leads research in stellar astrophysics, binary stars, exoplanets, and high-resolution imaging techniques. With expertise in astronomical instrumentation, particularly speckle interferometry, he has established SCSU as a significant center for observational astronomy despite its urban setting. Dr. Horch earned his BA with Honors from the College of the University of Chicago in 1987, followed by a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University in 1994. His academic journey included postdoctoral positions at Yale University and the Rochester Institute of Technology before faculty appointments at RIT (1999-2002) and UMass Dartmouth (2002-2007). He joined Southern Connecticut State University in 2007, where he has since built a nationally recognized research program. His research focuses on stellar multiplicity , exoplanet host star characterization , and high-resolution imaging techniques . Horch has pioneered the use of speckle interferometry for studying binary stars and exoplanet systems, developing instruments like the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument (DSSI) and the Southern Connecticut Stellar Interferometer (SCSI). His work has significantly advanced our understanding of stellar companions to exoplanet host stars and contributed to major discoveries including the highest resolution ground-based image of the Pluto-Charon system. Recent publications reveal a strong focus on M-dwarf multiplicity through the POKEMON survey, TESS mission follow-up observations, and next-generation instrumentation development. His team's work with the Integral Field Unit Speckle Imager (IFUSI) and distributed fiber systems represents cutting-edge advances in astronomical imaging technology. Connecticut State University System Research Prize (2011) SCSU Faculty Scholar of the Year (2012) SCSU's first Senior Research Fellowship (2016) As principal investigator on active NSF grants, Horch provides substantial support for undergraduate and graduate student research at SCSU. His work with the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument has enabled numerous students to participate in cutting-edge astronomical research, publish in peer-reviewed journals, and present at national conferences. His instrumentation development projects have created unique opportunities for physics students to gain hands-on experience with advanced optical systems. Dr. Horch leads the SCSU astronomy instrumentation laboratory, where his team develops the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument (DSSI), Southern Connecticut Stellar Interferometer (SCSI), and related technologies.
