Future Goals
Further differentiate into other detector
sectors. Grow collaborative base o National NIH,
DoE, etc.. o Industry Pictometry etc.. Increase
level of integration o Provide turn-key systems
ready for applications Tech Development
o Migrate upstream to TRL levels 7 Create
comprehensive training program Immerse students,
researchers, and professionals in the
discipline Educational outreach o Integrate
cross-disciplinary detector technology into
undergraduate and graduate student
sciences o Facilitate and extend external
connections with K-12 programs
