Paul Szypryt (Assoc)
Paul Szypryt is a research physicist within the NIST Quantum Sensors Group. He joined NIST as a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow in 2017 and was awarded the NASA Nancy Grace Roman Technology Fellowship (RTF) in 2022. Early in his career at NIST, he developed transition-edge sensor (TES) based x-ray instrumentation for the NIST electron beam ion trap (EBIT) and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) Beamline 13-3, producing results in diverse areas of research such as quantum electrodynamics, laboratory astrophysics, and high temperature superconductivity. Additionally, as part of the IARPA Rapid Analysis of Various Emerging Nanoelectronics (RAVEN), he helped to develop a novel tomography tool to three-dimensionally map integrated circuits with nanoscale features. As part of this effort, he led the development of a 3,000-pixel TES x-ray spectrometer, the largest superconducting spectrometer ever built. More recently, his research have focused on utilizing superconducting resonators in support of precision measurements. This includes using thermal kinetic inductance detectors (TKIDs) for charged particle detection and the novel kinetic inductance current sensor for TES readout. Potential applications here include nuclear physics, quantum information science, and exoplanet atmosphere spectroscopy.
