Dr. Jonathan Schuster

Jonathan Schuster received a B.S. degree in physics and a minor in Computer Science from the University at Buffalo (UB) in 2010, a M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Boston University (BU) in 2013 and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Boston University in 2014. He joined the U.S. Army DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory (ARL) as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Post-Doc ) in 2014 and then as an Electronics Engineer in 2016. He has also held a position as a Visiting Researcher at Boston University since 2015. While an ARL Post-Doc, he represented Post-Docs to the ARL Office of the Director as the Adelphi Laboratory Center (ALC) Co-Chair of the ARL Post-Doc Association (PDA) from 2015 to 2016. In 2016 he began serving as the Deputy Lead & Steering Committee Member of ARL's Center for Semiconductor Modeling (CSM) of Materials and Devices, rising to CSM Lead in 2021. Concurrently, in 2018 he began managing ARL's Modeling Research Environment (MRE) and since 2020 he has been leading ARL's UV SPAD Development. His current research activities pertain to modeling of optoelectronic devices, including infrared (IR) photovoltaic pixel arrays and ultraviolet (UV) avalanche photodiodes (APDs). Former activities include developing new hybridization techniques to hybridize pixel arrays to readout integrated circuits (ROICs) and modeling fiber optic systems.
