Mazin Lab, led by Assistant Professor Ben Mazin, is focused on using a unique detector technology called Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) for astronomy in the near infrared, optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray.  These detectors allow us to determine the energy and arrival time of individual photons.  The applications of this technology ranges from detecting earth-like planets around nearby stars to untangling the emission mechanisms of pulsars.
