Together with Albert Theuwissen of TU Delft and Harvest Imaging, I wrote a tutorial article on column ramp AD converters. Starting from the basic architecture of ramp converters, the article dives deeper into circuit aspects such as the comparator design, the benefits of counters over latches and the limitations of the architecture . The article […]

Nice to see that first image – captured by the CMV20000 image sensor inside the rover’s engineering cameras. I can’t wait to see the full resolution pictures. A great milestone for the entire team that developed this chip back at CMOSIS. Who could have thought at that time that this imager would ever end up on […]

The first call for papers for the 2021 International Image Sensor workshop is out now. Please find it here: https://imagesensors.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/FIRST-CALL-FOR-PAPERS_IISW2021.pdf

Did you ever wonder how your camera would behave in a nuclear or space environment?At KU Leuven, we’re offering an exciting PhD position to investigate and mitigate radiation effects on CMOS image sensors and pixels, under my guidance.Interested? Please check our job description here and apply before the end of November or contact me for […]

Last week Nasa launched the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover, which is featuring nine CMV20000 20 Mpixel image sensors that we had developed at CMOSIS. All the engineering cameras on the rover use this device, which were selected as commercial off-the-shelf devices, suited for this job. Eight imagers are used for autonomous and manual navigation of […]

We developed the extreme-uv sensitive backside thinned CMOS imagers for the EUI instrument at CMOSIS in collaboration with ROB (Brussels) and CSL (Liege). That was a truly Belgian project, rare to see that happen in our kingdom today. Great to see the detectors in full action now, delivering stunning images. Also the PHI instrument, for […]

I took the role of co-editor in-chief of a special issue of MDPI Sensors Journal on the IISW 2019. Fifteen of the best publications of IISW 20219 were invited for an extended paper. Thanks to the commitment of the authors and the work of our co-editors Johannes Solhusvik, Mike Guidash and Rihito Kuroda, it became […]

Feb 10th was a nice day for me. I woke up early in the morning to watch ESA’s video stream of the launch of Solar Orbiter from Cape Canaveral. This ESA mission explores the physics and behavior of our Sun. We worked on the image sensor detectors for two out of the ten instruments on […]
