Single Photon Detection for Reliable Adult Neuromonitoring$604Kvalue2025start2028end

Previous research (funded by CSTIP QSP-019-2) allowed for the development of a brain monitoring device based on advanced time-resolved Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (trNIRS) technology, which demonstrated the ability to measure metabolic activity in the brain-equivalent layer of realistic head models mimicking adult human anatomy. The Project aims to refine the technology and validate its capability to noninvasively monitor cerebral metabolism in adults. The Project Team will conduct a carotid occlusion study in a pig model of the adult head, inducing measurable changes in cerebral metabolism. Da

Suborbital Technology Advancement and Training for the Proposed POET Exoplanet Small-sat Mission$577Kvalue2024start2028end

The project seeks to advance the readiness of the Photometric Observations of Exoplanet Transits (POET) mission. POET is a proposed mission to detect extrasolar planets and to characterize their atmospheres. The main objectives of the proposed project, which is a pre-cursor to POET, are to: (1) validate the astronomical use of the shortwavelength infrared camera in a near-space environment (a high-altitude stratospheric balloon), and (2) train junior members of the POET team in conducting a space-like mission. The validation of commercial infrared cameras for accurate observations would pave t
