Division of Electronics, Detectors and Computing for Physics (DEDIP)

Research at AIM is based on three pillars: space instrumentation, observations, and modeling.

The AIM instrumentation team specializes in advanced astronomy detectors, guided by the question: "How can we create detectors to address specific astrophysical questions?" Collaborating closely with AIM's interpretation laboratories, the instrumentation team contributes to the design, testing, and utilization of space-based and ground-based instruments. The AIM instrumentation team oversees the development of cutting-edge space spectro-imaging instruments, focusing on technological innovation, and the design of robust and reliable systems suited for the extreme environments of space or telescopes, to conduct astrophysical observations.

The instrumentation division is organized into five teams based on expertise:

• Laboratory for Space Systems and Architectures (LSAS)
• Laboratory for Space Spectro-Imagers (LSIS)
• Laboratory for the Study and Development of Space Electronic Systems (LEDES)
• Laboratory for Quality and Spatial Integration (LQIS)
• Laboratory for Interface Science and Space Instruments (LISIS)
