Dr. Piestrup formed Adelphi Technology Inc. in 1984 as a sole proprietorship and in 1986 as a California Corporation. Dr. Piestrup has over 50 years of experience in the research and development of electron and ion sources and their use for the generation of x-rays and neutrons. He has a Ph.D. Electrical Engineering from Stanford University (1972). His early research included the first use of lasers to accelerator high energy electrons. Over a 40 year period he and his colleagues at Adelphi and Stanford University developed novel sources of vacuum ultraviolet, soft and hard x-rays using Čerenkov, transition and parametric radiators. Dr. Piestrup's research in the past 30 years has been primarily devoted to the development of new neutron and x-ray sources and optics for medical and industrial applications. Over the past 15 years he and his colleagues at Adelphi and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory developed new high-current ion sources driven by either RF or microwave power that are used to produced neutrons in Adelphi product line of generators.

Dr. Gary has over thirty-five years of experience working in the generation, detection, and control of x-ray and neutron radiation. He has a Ph.D. Electrical Engineering from Stanford University (1991) and M.B.A. from Heriot Watt University (2004). Along with Dr. Piestrup, he has helped build Adelphi into a world leader in the manufacture of neutron generators. He has served as principal investigator for multiple DOE, DOD, NIH, NSF and NASA projects, including, of course, the development of neutron generators along with x-ray and neutron detectors and a nano-tomography system capable of submicron 3-D x-ray imaging. Prior to joining Adelphi Technology, he managed the ten-person Information Physics Group at the NASA Ames Research Center working on optical information processing technology. He has over 100 scientific publications and 11 patents.

Dr. Cremer has over 35 years of experience working in the generation, detection, and control of x-ray and neutron radiation. He has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from University of Maryland (1984). He has primary responsibility for Adelphi’s research and development work on neutron detection and optics. He the principal investigator on a number of US government funded programs that use of neutrons for homeland security, medical imaging and material science. He is currently leading projects with Indian University, Louisiana State University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a range of neutron optics and devices for small angle scattering and radiography applications. He has been principal investigator for prior NIH, DOD and DOE funded projects on x-ray and neutron optics and neutron generators that lead to the development of the Adelphi neutron microscope, which obtained the first images of both mechanical objects and biological objects. He has 4 patents, and has published 36 peer reviewed papers and 4 books.

Dr. Williams (Ph.D., MBA) first joined Adelphi Technology in 2007. He has a PhD in Physics from the University of Manchester, UK (1995) and has worked at a range of organizations including the Defense Evaluation and Research Agency in UK, Intel Capital (the investment arm of Intel Corporation) and Intel Corporation in California, as well as several start-up companies including one focused on semiconductor materials for power devices. Dr Williams has 14 issued patents and 10 peer reviewed publications.
