Piotr Maj (M’08) has received the master’s degree in electrical engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electronics from the AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH-UST), Krakow, Poland, in 2005 and 2008, respectively. He focused on the readout electronics for silicon strip detectors. He joined the Department of Measurement and Electronics, AGH-UST, in 2007. He was a member of the Microelectronics Group, AGH-UST, where he was involved in the field of hybrid pixel X-ray detectors. Since 2017, he has been an Associate Professor and continues his research in the field of hybrid pixel detectors trying to utilize the 3-D CMOS and deep sub-micrometer CMOS technologies in the goal of developing single photon-counting X-rays detectors.
