Carl Jackson, CTO and VP of Engineering

Carl Jackson is founder and CTO and VP of Engineering of SensL. Carl holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Clemson University (USA) and a Ph.D. from the National University of Ireland, Cork in Microelectronics. His doctorate research work was carried out at the Tyndall National Institute and focused on the development of the core CMOS compatible low light sensor which SensL has commercialized. Carl has over 50 publications and patents in the area of low light sensors and Carl is a recognized leader in the area of solid-state silicon photomultiplier and photon counting technology.

Post completion of his research at the Tyndall National Institute in 2002, Carl founded Photon Detection Systems which carried out further development of his solid-state light detector technology and productizing of the core detector. Additionally, Photon Detection Systems provided detector module design for commercial OEM and research customers. In 2004, Carl realized that a significant commercial opportunity existed for the core low light detector technology and SensL was founded to exploit the opportunity. All of the technology from Photon Detection Systems was transferred into SensL at this time.

Carl is the technology visionary of SensL and has lead the development of the core technology from single diode detectors at the research level to full commercial implementation with millions of light detectors per system combined with high performance packaging, electronics and software.
