DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND SCIENCE FORECASTS FOR THE TERAHERTZ INTENSITY MAPPER
… (FIR) telescope fielding novel cryogenic kinetic inductance detectors. TIM combines two long-slit grating spectrometers to cover 240-420 microns at a resolving power of R = 250. Building on the flight heritage of the BLAST and SPIDER balloon programs, TIM will wield sub-arcsecond pointing …

The terahertz intensity mapper: development of the cryogenic receiver
… coupled to over 7,000 superconducting kinetic inductance detectors to trace star formation through the [CII] 158~\si{\micro\meter} emission line. This thesis presents my contributions to \TIM cryogenic receiver across the full instrument development cycle: from initial conceptual design …

Nonequilibrium behaviour and quasiparticle heating in thin film superconducting microwave resonators
… in a variety of applications, one of which is as kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs). KIDs are ultra-low noise, highly sensitive, multiplexable detectors, with uses in a wide variety of fields including astrophysics, medical imaging, and particle physics. Resonators are also crucial for supercon- …

The Next Generation Balloon-Borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (blast-Tng)
… three arrays of polarization-sensitive Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs). MKIDs are superconducting RLC circuits with a resonant frequency that shifts proportionally to the amount of incident radiation. The key feature of MKIDs is that thousands of detectors, each with their own …

Superconducting Microwave Resonators for Low Loss Sensor Applications
… important applications, including as photon detectors, filter-banks, parametric amplifiers and increasingly as part of quantum circuits for qubit readout. The next generation of astronomy will require resonators that are very low in loss to create highly sensitive kinetic inductance detectors …
