David R. Winn

David Winn has extensive experience in experimental high energy physics, accelerator technologies, design and prototyping of experimental techniques and experiments high speed photodetection. He has developed sub-ns scintillators, liquid core scintillating fibers, diamond film optical and radiation detectors. He has also developed micro- and nano-machined PMT and MCP, and very large vacuum photocathode detectors. He is skilled in thin film deposition, photolithographic techniques, micromachining, electrochemical etching, and has extensive experience in the use and properties of high speed photodetectors, scintillators, low noise electronics, fiber optics, quantum optics, and imaging devices.

Dr. Winn's undergraduate studies were at CalTech and Cornell (A.B.) and holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Wisconsin. He subsequently was a postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University and promoted to Assistant Professor of Physics for 7 years. He currently is Professor of Physics at Fairfield University, where he has been Chair, and a PI for DOE, NSF, and NASA. He is author and co-author of over 200 publications in electro-optics and physics and holds 8 patents. He has consulted or worked as an Industrial Physicist at a variety of firms including American Science and Engineering, Polaroid, and Schlumberger.
