Boss wins 2015 FLC Tech Transfer award

Michael Boss received the FLC Tech Transfer Award for creating MRI calibration standards that have been adopted in multi-site clinical trials in the US and Europe to study the effects of traumatic brain injury.

2014 Invention of the Year Nominee: A New Single-Photon Avalanche Diode System for LIDAR and Quantum Cryptography

UMD researchers have developed a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detection system that is so sensitive that it detects photons that arrive at times well before a readout gate is applied, hence increasing the system’s detection duty cycle. This...
