Research Interests
José-Luis Gálvez works in the Advanced Engineering Unit (AEU) of the ICE-CSIC and is also part of the IEEC. He has experience designing, developing and testing of new instruments, devoted for X and gamma-ray space missions, based on radiation semiconductor detectors (Si, CdTe), to address the demanding performances of sensitivity, spatial and energy resolution. He has also a deep knowledge in the thermal design and analysis of space instruments gained by his participation in the LOFT ESA mission proposal. He has a good heritage of the system engineering (model philosophy, development plan, AIT, requirement specification) in space projects such as LOFT ESA mission till I-PRR (end of phase A), All-Sky-ASTROGAM tracker instrument for ESA proposal. He was involved in the study at the NASA/GSFC Instrument Design Lab (IDL) of the WFM instrument of the Spectroscopic Time-Resolving Observatory for Broadband Energy X-rays (STROBE-X) as a candidate Probe class mission and it is currently again proposed as a new mission concept. He is now involved in eXTP (enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry) mission in phase B.
