Biography
Dr. Angelo Dragone has 20 years of experience in the research and development of Instrumentation for Scientific experiments. In 2006 he received his PhD in Microelectronics from the Polytechnic Institute of Bari and the Scuola Interpolitectica di Dottorato, Turin, Italy. He worked in the Instrumentation Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory from 2004, before joining SLAC in 2008. Dr. Dragone has been working on the design of radiation detectors (particles, X-Rays, and visible light) focusing on innovative architectural solution for state-of-the art scientific instruments and sensors interfaces with applications in the fields of photon science, particle physics, medical imaging and national security. At SLAC he focused his research on the design of high frame rate large dynamic range X-ray detectors for LCLS, SLAC X-ray Free-electron Laser facility. As Program Director, he currently leads the Detector R&D and the applied Microelectronics programs at the lab.
