About the Author:

Jenna Beletic

Is an anthropology student with a very unique knowledge of scientific detectors for astronomy. She literally grew up in this community, having helped install a high speed, low noise CCD camera system at a Kitt Peak telescope when she was only 8 years old. She has supported all of the last four detector workshops, co-editing the last two proceedings and being the lead editor on these proceedings.

James Beletic

Internationally recognized for his expertise in optical and infrared detectors, he has held management positions at major research laboratories, universities and observatories in Europe and the United States before taking his present position as Director of Sensor Systems at the Rockwell Scientific Company, a leading detector manufacturer. He has led teams that developed detector systems used on 23 telescopes at 16 different observatories in Chile, the mainland United States, the Canary Islands and Hawaii. He has led the development of new types of imaging sensors, and has collaborated with many of the major astronomy instrumentation teams.

Paola Amico

An astronomer who has worked at the two major astronomical observatories with the largest ground-based telescopes: European Southern Observatory and the Keck Observatory. She has a broad understanding of astronomical instrumentation.
