      abstract = {SuperSpec is an ultra-sensitive, moderate resolution (R ~  300), on-chip spectrometer for mm and sub-mm wave  observations of high redshift dusty galaxies. The device  employs a filter-bank architecture in which Titanium  Nitride kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) are coupled to  mm-wave resonant filters along a single microwave feedline.  The detector's small size and and natural multiplexability  compared to traditional grating spectrometers will enable  future multi-object spectrographic measurements as well as  high redshift line intensity mapping observations. This  thesis presents the testing and characterization of these  detectors, as well as preparations for on-sky deployment.  Additionally, we present the progress on improvements to  the SuperSpec filter bank technology utilizing thin film  aluminum KIDs with a newly designed mm-wave filter bank  structure.},
