Handheld 'T-ray' Device Earns New $30,000 Lemelson-Rensselaer Student Prize
Schulkin works under the guidance of Xi-Cheng Zhang, the J. Erik Jonsson '22 Distinguished Professor of Science and director of the Center for Terahertz Research at Rensselaer. "Brian's innovative approach combined the integration of materials, optics, and electronics expertise to realize aquantum leap in robustness, while reducing the size and weight of the system by an order of magnitude," Zhang said. "His miniature terahertz spectrometer project, after only one year's worth of research and development, has become the shining star on our research stage."
At the Center for Terahertz Research, more than 30 scientists actively conduct research and development in terahertz wave science and technology. Scientists and engineers from more than 100 universities, companies, medical schools, and clinics have visited Rensselaer's terahertz facilities, and theteam has helped scientists from 25 countries learn to use the technology.
The Lemelson-Rensselaer Student Prize is funded through a partnership with the Lemelson-MIT Program, which has awarded the
