David Gascon is technical director of the ICCUB and technical director of UB instrumentation service "Servei IDEAS UB" (SiUB). He is working on the development of read-out electronics for scientific and industrial instrumentation - from low-noise and high speed front end electronics to digital back-end acquisition systems, including slow control and monitoring electronics - and on the design of hardware and software for particle physics experiments, astrophysics and medical imaging.
What are the most important steps you took on your way to become a photosensor expert?
For me the participation in different instruments, like LHCb, CTA, medical imaging and space, was very important.
Tell us a bit about your daily work:
