About
Christine A. Jhabvala is a leading innovator in infrared (IR) detector technology, with her research centered on strained-layer superlattice (SLS) sensors and their application in space-based Earth imaging. Her most notable contribution is the development of the Compact Thermal Imager (CTI), an SLS-based camera that successfully performed Earth imaging from the International Space Station (ISS) in 2019. This landmark mission demonstrated the viability of SLS technology for spaceborne remote sensing, paving the way for next-generation multi-spectral systems. Building on this success, her highly cited 2023 paper details the creation of a dual- and multi-spectral band SLS camera, representing a significant leap in compact, high-performance thermal imaging. While her work is highly specialized, its impact is profound, enabling more frequent and cost-effective Earth observation missions. Jhabvala’s achievements place her at the forefront of advancing IR sensor technology for climate monitoring and planetary science, with her ISS-based CTI mission standing as a defining milestone in the field.
