Dr. Yamuna Phal, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Quantitative Biosciences Program at the Colorado School of Mines, has been awarded the prestigious PICASSO program grant for $0.9 million from NASA for her project to develop a chiroptical imager with space flight capability. The Mid-InfraRed AdvanCed Life-detection Explorer (MIRACLE), led by Dr. Phal, along with Co-Investigators Dr. Michael Wakin, Dr. John Spear, and Dr. Christopher Dreyer, aims to develop a revolutionary spectroscopic imager.
