THE INFLATIONARY MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE HAS PROVIDED A THEORETICAL PLATFORM FOR MODERN OBSERVATIONAL EXPERIMENTS IN THE FIELD OF COSMOLOGY. A WELL-DEFINED METHOD OF PROBING THE PROPERTIES OF INFLATION AS WELL AS OTHER COSMOLOGICAL SCIENCE IS THROUGH DIRECT MEASUREMENTS OF THE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND CMB. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE FUTURE CMB IMAGING OBJECTIVES EXISTING EXPERIMENTS MUST UNDERGO ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS TO REACH NEW FRONTIERS IN SENSITIVITY RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE. THE CENTRAL OBJECTIVE OF MY PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP CUTTING EDGE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE ATACAMA COSMOLOGY TELESCOPE ACT THAT WILL ALLOW THE ADVANCED ACT ADVACT EXPERIMENT TO MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS NECESSARY TO FURTHER OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROPERTIES OF THE UNIVERSE. THE INSTRUMENTATION OBJECTIVES INCLUDE DEVELOPING A ROTATING HALF-WAVE PLATE HWP SYSTEM AS WELL AS MULTI FREQUENCY DETECTOR ARRAYS FOR ADVACT. ONCE THESE DEVICES ARE COMPLETED I WILL SHIFT MY FOCUS TO EXTENSIVE DATA ANALYSIS IN ORDER TO REAP THE SCIENTIFIC BENEFITS OF THE ADVACT INSTRUMENT. THE PRIMARY SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVE OF MY PROPOSED PROJECT WILL BE THE MEASUREMENT OF LARGE ANGULAR SCALE B MODE POLARIZATION PRODUCED BY INFLATIONARY GRAVITATIONAL WAVES.
