He credits his successes to the dozens of scientists and engineers he has collaborated with and an ideal environment to incubate such innovations at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Underlying those patents, he said Goddard\u2019s Internal Research and Development, or IRAD program, enabled preliminary work on hundreds of technologies Wollack either led or participated in. Those investigations often earned NASA agency-level innovation funding to fully develop their strategic technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the patents Wollack and his teams produced advanced detector technologies for capturing light from the early universe, reduced scattered light within telescopes, and improved the fidelity of observations for future missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have developed technologies for missions that won\u2019t be completed within my professional career,\u201d Wollack said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He used his experience building amplifiers for the WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe) mission \u2013 launched in 2001 \u2013 to develop superconducting detectors that provide higher sensitivity and resolution. These detectors could help reveal more about the oldest light in the universe, the background of microwaves that shows the universe as it was just 380,000 years after the big bang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI realized these ideas could be applied to make superconducting detector arrays with higher sensitivity and lower noise,\u201d Wollack said. \u201cThese advances may enable the next generation of precision measurements of light from the early universe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These detectors require lower mass, volume, and power, allowing tens of thousands of detectors \u2013 each equivalent to a pixel in a modern camera \u2013 in a single observatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nap.nationalacademies.org\/read\/26933\/chapter\/4#16\" rel=\"noopener\">Next-generation ground-based microwave observations<\/a> were identified as a priority in the 2020 Astrophysics Decadal Survey by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. This report reflects the consensus opinion of the most important scientific questions currently facing the astronomical community and a priority list of how to answer them<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Culture of Technology Innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInnovation in technology development at its best is a form of improvisational teamwork,\u201d Wollack said. \u201cIt\u2019s humbling to be singled out for these accomplishments because this is a recognition of a large network of colleagues engaged in this endeavor. It\u2019s an honor to be working with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This network consists of scientists, engineers, and academic partners who enjoy finding solutions to big problems, he said, and they are adept at recognizing barriers, redirecting as needed, and keeping their eye on the big picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGoddard has a culture that\u2019s amenable to doing innovation,\u201d he said. \u201cI think we need people who can talk to different groups and act as the glue to bring their ideas together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Biography<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wollack is a physicist by training and works as a research astrophysicist in Goddard\u2019s Observational Cosmology Laboratory. He is fascinated by light, its interaction with matter, and its role in revealing patterns in our universe. His research spans a broad range of topics that include cosmology, astronomical instrumentation, electromagnetic devices, and materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His teams\u2019 innovative use of metamaterial structures \u2013 with properties that affect the behavior of light itself \u2013 have advanced instrumentation capabilities for astrophysical observation. These efforts have led to more than 524 publications (290 peer-reviewed and 234 contributed) in pure and applied science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wollack was a member of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe science team, which was awarded the Gruber Cosmology Prize for the \u201cprecision determination of the age, content, and geometry of the universe\u201d and the Breakthrough Prize for Fundamental Physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>By Karl Hille<\/em><\/strong><br> <strong><em>NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"nasa-gb-align-full width-full maxw-full padding-x-3 padding-y-0 article_a hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-credits-and-details\">\n<section class=\"padding-x-0 padding-top-5 padding-bottom-2 desktop:padding-top-7 desktop:padding-bottom-9\">\n\t<div class=\"grid-row grid-container maxw-widescreen padding-0\">\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-2 padding-right-4 margin-bottom-5 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"padding-top-3 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-black\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading-14\">Share<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"padding-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"social-icons social-icons-round\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"social-icon social-icon-x\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?via=NASA&text=Goddard%20Physicist%20Inducted%20to%20NASA%20Inventors%20Hall%20of%20Fame&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nasa.gov%2Fpeople-of-nasa%2Fgoddard-people%2Fphysicist-inducted-to-nasa-inventors-hall-of-fame%2F\" aria-label=\"Share on X.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"1200\" height=\"1227\" viewBox=\"0 0 1200 1227\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M714.163 519.284L1160.89 0H1055.03L667.137 450.887L357.328 0H0L468.492 681.821L0 1226.37H105.866L515.491 750.218L842.672 1226.37H1200L714.137 519.284H714.163ZM569.165 687.828L521.697 619.934L144.011 79.6944H306.615L611.412 515.685L658.88 583.579L1055.08 1150.3H892.476L569.165 687.854V687.828Z\" fill=\"white\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"social-icon social-icon-facebook\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nasa.gov%2Fpeople-of-nasa%2Fgoddard-people%2Fphysicist-inducted-to-nasa-inventors-hall-of-fame%2F\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M9 8h-3v4h3v12h5v-12h3.642l.358-4h-4v-1.667c0-.955.192-1.333 1.115-1.333h2.885v-5h-3.808c-3.596 0-5.192 1.583-5.192 4.615v3.385z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"social-icon social-icon-linkedin\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nasa.gov%2Fpeople-of-nasa%2Fgoddard-people%2Fphysicist-inducted-to-nasa-inventors-hall-of-fame%2F\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M4.98 3.5c0 1.381-1.11 2.5-2.48 2.5s-2.48-1.119-2.48-2.5c0-1.38 1.11-2.5 2.48-2.5s2.48 1.12 2.48 2.5zm.02 4.5h-5v16h5v-16zm7.982 0h-4.968v16h4.969v-8.399c0-4.67 6.029-5.052 6.029 0v8.399h4.988v-10.131c0-7.88-8.922-7.593-11.018-3.714v-2.155z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"social-icon social-icon-rss\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/feed\/\" aria-label=\"Subscribe to RSS feed.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 800 800\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M493 652H392c0-134-111-244-244-244V307c189 0 345 156 345 345zm71 0c0-228-188-416-416-416V132c285 0 520 235 520 520z\"\/><circle cx=\"219\" cy=\"581\" r=\"71\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-5 padding-right-4 margin-bottom-5 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"padding-top-3 border-top-1px border-color-carbon-black\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading-14\">Details<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row margin-bottom-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"subheading\">Last Updated<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-8\">May 01, 2024<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-row margin-bottom-3\"><div class=\"grid-col-4\"><div class=\"subheading\">Editor<\/div><\/div><div class=\"grid-col-8\">Karl B.
