Jill Juneau

Jill is an Electrical Engineer at MKI specializing in instrumentation and detector development, with a focus on CMOS/CCD detector technologies. She works across multiple instrumentation groups to design and build hardware for telescope focal planes, characterize detectors spanning X-ray to near-infrared wavelengths, and commission instruments for on-sky operation.

Her background includes developing telemetry systems for high-altitude balloon payloads at NASA’s Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility and contributing to instrumentation for particle physics experiments, including neutrino detectors for T2K’s Super-FGD and the DUNE experiment.

Jill holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering (2003) from Louisiana State University and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering (2020) from Rice University. At Rice, she conducted research in a neural engineering lab, designing and testing imaging systems for miniaturized microscopes used in real-time imaging of hippocampal circuits in rodents.
