About
William Squicciarini is a leading figure in the development of advanced infrared imaging technologies for space-based applications. His primary research focuses on strained-layer-superlattice (SLS) detectors and compact thermal imaging systems, with a particular emphasis on dual-band sensor architectures. His most notable contribution is the design and deployment of the Compact Thermal Imager (CTI), a dual-band SLS detector-based instrument installed on the International Space Station in 2018 as part of the Robotic Refueling Mission 3 (RRM3). This pioneering work, detailed in his 2019 paper with 13 citations, serves as a critical pathfinder for next-generation space-based thermal sensing, demonstrating how SLS technology can operate effectively in the harsh environment of low Earth orbit. Squicciarini’s research bridges the gap between laboratory detector development and operational space instruments, making him a key contributor to the advancement of compact, high-performance thermal imagers for future planetary science and Earth observation missions.
