Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Fröjdh is a scientist with eight years of experience specializing in detector characterization, calibration and data analysis, currently working in the SLS detector group at the Paul Scherrer Institut. He leads development and testing of EIGER single-photon counting detectors across scales—from 9M-pixel large-area systems to compact test setups for electron microscopy. His background includes a Marie Curie fellowship at CERN’s Medipix group and a PhD focus on CdTe sensor characterization, giving him deep expertise in hybrid pixel detector technology and sensor materials. Erik blends hands-on experimental work with software-driven analysis pipelines, enabling precise calibration and performance optimization for cutting-edge imaging detectors. Based in Villigen, Switzerland, he pairs academic rigor with practical instrumentation experience, often bridging lab hardware and data analysis in multidisciplinary collaborations. A less obvious strength is his teaching experience in basic electronics, which informs clear documentation and training for complex detector systems.
