Awards

For developing and perfecting optical lattice atomic clocks as the most stable and accurate clocks in the world, which will have future impacts on advanced communications and a broad range of precision measurements far beyond timekeeping.

For “exemplary leadership and contributions to the development of industry standards.”

Recognized as a promising early career and future leader in mechanical engineering

The award was given “for two decades of leadership in advancing the quality and operational excellence of Magnetics Society and IEEE publications.”

For contributions to the understanding and applications of magnetization dynamics.

Jun Ye's research advances the frontier of light-matter interaction and focuses on precision measurement, quantum physics and ultracold matter, optical frequency metrology, and ultrafast science.

For developing a world-leading program of phase noise research and measurement services to support industry and national priorities.

For accelerating the integration of renewable energy into the power grid through establishing an international accreditation and test program.

The Judson C. French Award, first presented in 2000, is granted for significant improvement in products delivered directly to industry, including new or improved NIST calibration services, Standard Reference Materials, and Standard Reference...

The award was given "for pioneering work on chip-scale atomic sensors and devices."

Michael Boss, Katy Keenan, Stephen Russek and Karl Stupic are recognized for advancing the forefront of biomedical imaging by developing a broad suite of calibration “phantoms” to enable quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the...

The Thomas Reuters website states, "Highly Cited Researchers 2015 represents some of world’s most influential scientific minds. About three thousand researchers earned this distinction by writing the greatest number of reports officially designated...

Michael Mitch, Leader of the Dosimetry Group of the Radiation Physics Division, has been elected as a Fellow of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM). A member of the AAPM since 2000, Mitch represents NIST on several committees...

For creating and disseminating quantum-based superconducting voltage standards that form the basis for worldwide precision voltage measurements.

For her outstanding contributions in toroidal Bose-Einstein condensates and its application to “atomtronic” circuits.

For exceptional contributions to vacuum science and for developing new and revolutionary vacuum standards and methods through promoting excellence in vacuum measurement as well as being a mentor to early career scientists and engineers.

NIST has a long-standing program in quantum information science that includes creating coherence in quantum dots — a type of nanostructure — that can lead to everything from single photon sources to the core components of quantum computer — a so...

Paul D. Hale has been named an IEEE Fellow for contributions to the metrology of high-speed electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Michael Boss received the FLC Tech Transfer Award for creating MRI calibration standards that have been adopted in multi-site clinical trials in the US and Europe to study the effects of traumatic brain injury.

UMD researchers have developed a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detection system that is so sensitive that it detects photons that arrive at times well before a readout gate is applied, hence increasing the system’s detection duty cycle. This...

For pioneering contributions to the study of superfluidity in atomic-gas Bose-Einstein condensates using ring-shaped condensates.

For a precision measurement of the Newtonian constant of Gravitation G and a precision measurement of the Planck constant h.
