Charlie Tarrio

Charlie Tarrio received a B.S. in physics and math from Bates College. He earned high honors in physics for his thesis, "A new predictive scheme for rotating superconductors." He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Virginia under the tutelage of Steve Schnatterly. He used electron energy loss spectroscopy to study the electronic and optical properties of a wide range of materials. He has been at NIST since 1991 developing and applying metrology for extreme ultraviolet lithography.
