Dr. Dan Jardin is a physicist at NIST working on neutron detection and measurement. His current projects include developing cryogenic Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detectors (TKIDs) to study beta decay properties and gas-phase scintillation detectors for neutron spectrum measurement. These technologies could have applications in locating water on the Moon. Dr. Jardin holds a B.S. in Physics from Syracuse University and a Ph.D. in Physics from Southern Methodist University, where he worked on dark matter research and radon background mitigation. He also worked on the Micro-X project at Northwestern University, which successfully operated Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs) in space to record high-resolution x-ray spectra of supernova remnants.
