An experimental <physicist> who develops <particle detectors> and applies nuclear-physics instrumentation to biomedical imaging.<Detector Development Group Staff at Jefferson Lab>[Drew Weisenberger entry: scintillation and solid-state detector design and applications]{ref} In his presentation on detector technology, a <scintillator> converts deposited <gamma ray> energy into optical light, and a <photomultiplier> turns that light into an electrical signal. Combining position-sensitive detection with compact detector modules enables specialized <gamma cameras> rather than requiring every imaging task to use the same instrument.<Bio-medical Applications of Jefferson Lab's Nuclear Physics Detector Technology by Drew Weisenberger>[Slides 4 and 8–11: scintillation mechanism, modular detectors and task-specific gamma imaging]{ref}
