Jan is exploring top-down nanotechnology in order to design intelligent sensors and sensory processing systems. He is primarily engaged in researching analog and digital integrated circuits for intelligent sensors, data acquisition, and sensory data processing systems, and has done considerable work on image sensors that are modeled after the biological vision system. Jan is currently focused on sensors for polarization imaging by combining micro/nano polarizer arrays with CMOS imager technology.
