Dr. Lucian Scharenberg is a postdoctoral researcher in the field of particle physics and particle detection. He explores the processes within particle detectors, as well as how the interactions of fundamental particles can be observed with these detectors. To do this, he developed new detector technologies, worked on novel readout electronics and data acquisition systems, and characterized the performance of particle detection systems. While the main use of Lucian’s developments is fundamental research, technology transfer enabled their application in materials science and medical applications.
