Eric A G Webster

Eric A G Webster has extensive work experience in the field of semiconductor technology and imaging. Eric has worked for Quantum-Si since 2019, where they currently hold the position of Director of Pixel and Process Design. In this role, they lead the pixel development team and focuses on pixel design, process integration, and TCAD simulation for next-generation protein sequencing. Prior to this, they served as a Senior Principal Engineer and Principal Engineer in the same department.

Before joining Quantum-Si, Eric worked at OmniVision Technologies, Inc. from 2013 to 2019. Eric started as a Senior Process Engineer and quickly progressed to become a Staff Process Engineer. Later, they took on the role of Manager of TCAD Modeling and Simulation, where they were responsible for R&D simulation for OmniVision's next-generation image sensor technologies. Eric'sresponsibilities included setting research projects, managing simulation resources, and collaborating with software vendors.

Eric's academic background includes a Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh, where they worked as a Ph.D. candidate from 2009 to 2013. Eric'sresearch focused on Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs), specifically their theory, simulation, and integration with high-performance CMOS technology. Eric made significant contributions to the understanding of SPAD device physics and invented a new CMOS SPAD with enhanced photon detection efficiency. Eric also worked as a SPADnet researcher, collaborating with European partners on the design and simulation of CMOS SPADs for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) applications.

In addition, Eric had previous experience at STMicroelectronics. Eric worked as a Ph.D. candidate and received funding support from STMicroelectronics Imaging Division. Eric also completed an MEng. student placement at STMicroelectronics, where they conducted their master's project on pixel noise modeling of CMOS image sensors.

Eric's early career includes a short internship as a Junior Engineer at Parsons Brinckerhoff, where they worked on the Edinburgh Tram Project, analyzing and documenting plans.

Overall, Eric A G Webster has a strong background in pixel and process design, TCAD simulation, and semiconductor technology development, with a focus on image sensors and Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes.

Eric A G Webster obtained their Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) (Hons) degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from The University of Edinburgh in the years 2003 to 2009. Following this, they pursued a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at the same institution, completing their studies from 2009 to 2013.
