Top Quark Spin Correlations with the CMS Detector

Jason is deeply passionate about the elementary interactions between matter and energy and their application in sensor and technology development. During his Ph.D. work on Large Hadron Collider experiments, he focused on precision measurements of top quark properties and simulating and testing prototype silicon detectors in radiation environments. Currently, as a physicist and systems engineer, Jason is developing new, advanced methods for testing single event effects in 3D heterogeneously integrated electronic components and circuits. He aims to revolutionize the design process for radiation-hardened electronics, facilitating the rapid deployment of next-generation technologies for space and other applications.
