Artsy quotes Eric Fossum, professor of engineering, director of the PhD Innovation Program, and associate provost of the Office of Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer, about how he and a team of engineers at Thayer School have developed a new technology called the Quanta Image Sensor (QIS), which radically improves on the current technology's ability to take high-quality images in extremely low-light situations—from the most difficult feats of photojournalism to explorations in the depths of outer space.
