Dr. Daniel Becker is a research associate at the University of Colorado and a member of NIST’s Quantum Sensors Group. With over a decade of experience in low temperature sensors, electronics, and cryogenic systems, Becker leads efforts to develop gamma-ray spectrometers using cryogenic microcalorimeters and automated data analysis pipelines.
Becker’s work includes developing a microwave SQUID multiplexer for TES detectors and designing microwave components for cryogenic detectors used in Cosmic Microwave Background observatories. He also built a passive imaging system operating at 350 GHz using cryogenic detectors. Prior to his scientific career, Becker worked as a computer programmer and consultant for 12 years.
