Biography

Lucas Koerner is an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of St. Thomas (UST). His group develops and applies electronics for challenges in detection. Prior to UST, Lucas designed high-speed CMOS based X-ray detectors at Cornell; developed time-of-flight CMOS electronics and imaging detectors at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory; and led an electrical test team within Apple’s camera group. He is excited about teaching undergraduate electronics, especially in areas with natural intersections between electrical engineering and physics, such as, imaging detectors and transmission lines.
