Jiaju Ma is a pioneering inventor and entrepreneur in the field of CMOS image sensor and Quanta Image Sensor. Ma is the co-inventor and designer of the first CMOS image sensor pixel devices with deep sub-electron read noise that enables photon counting and photon-number resolution without using electron multiplication, generally referred to as a Quanta Image Sensor (QIS).
The low-noise photon-counting pixel device that Ma co-invented and developed is being commercialized at Gigajot Technology (Pasadena, CA), a startup co-founded by Ma. Because of its superior low-light imaging capability, high resolution and high dynamic range performance, this technology is considered an enabling technology for advanced scientific, space, and defense applications.
Congratulations Jiaju Ma!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see imaging win one of these EDS awards.
