Eric Brubaker

About

Eric Brubaker is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Engineering Graduate and Professional Programs at Duke University. He holds a B.S. from Ohio State University (2009), an M.S. from Stanford University (2018), and both an M.A. and a Ph.D. from Stanford University (2022). His research focuses on engineering design, social innovation, and the integration of human-centered approaches within engineering contexts. Brubaker has contributed to advancing design theory and practice through his publications, which include studies on large language model agents in design, open innovation dynamics, and the role of objects in spanning knowledge boundaries in design. His work emphasizes the importance of collaborative, ethical, and socially impactful engineering practices, and he teaches courses related to design ethics and social innovation.

• The ATLAS Experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

  2008 · 2387 citations

  The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN will extend the frontiers of particle physics with its
\nunprecedented high energy and luminosity. Inside the LHC, bunches of up to 1011 protons (p)
\nwill collide 40 million times per second to provide 14 TeV proton-proton collisions at a design
\nluminosity of 1034 cm􀀀2s􀀀1. The LHC will also collide heavy ions (A), in particular lead nuclei, at
\n5.5 TeV per nucleon pair, at a design luminosity of 1027 cm􀀀2s􀀀1.
\nThe high interact…

• Scintillation and Cherenkov Photon Counting Detectors with Analog Silicon Photomultipliers for TOF-PET

  2023-11-20 · 1 citations

  preprintOpen accessSenior author

  Standard signal processing approaches for scintillation detectors in positron emission tomography (PET) derive accurate estimates for 511 keV photon time of interaction and energy imparted to the detection media from aggregate characteristics of electronic pulse shapes. The ultimate realization of a scintillation detector for PET is one that provides a unique timestamp and position for each detected scintillation photon. Detectors with these capabilities enable advanced concepts for three-dimens…
