Awards

For advancing practical, low uncertainty flow measurements, and ensuring the reliability of the US and international flow measurement infrastructure, etc.

Researchers are selected for their exceptional performance in one or more of 21 broad fields (those used in Web of Science Group's Essential Science Indicators, or ESI) or across several fields.

For significant contributions to quantum optics, especially the development of accurate metrology of single-photon detectors using parametric down conversion.

John Lehman is recognized for outstanding work on laser radiometry and applications, with a focus on accurate laser power measurements and applications by the Optical Society of America.

For pioneering work in the science and metrology of extreme high vacuum, and support of the stakeholder and scientific community.

American Vacuum Society (AVS) Nanometer-Scale Science and Technology Division Early Career Award. Columbus, Ohio, October 2019.

The Branco Weiss Fellowship – Society in Science is a unique postdoc program for scientists with a proven track record who are willing to engage in a dialogue on relevant social, cultural, political or economic issues across the frontiers of their...

Angela Hight Walker was selected to receive this award by the Board of Directors Awards Committee in recognition of her many contributions to the ANSI Federation and the voluntary standardization community.

2019 Fellow of the Royal Chemical Society, Awarded August 2019

For pushing the frontiers of quantum science through groundbreaking research, including manipulating individual light particles to strongly interact—something they do not naturally do.

For defying prevailing theory from the past 40 years to generate the world’s most stable electromagnetic signals spanning the radiofrequency, microwave and optical ranges, and to make a 10,000-fold improvement in the ability to measure those signals.

For transforming magnetic resonance imaging into a quantitative tool to diagnose and treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases through the development of a world-first standard suite, providing leadership in the medical & scientific community, etc.

For pushing the frontiers of quantum physics through pioneering new devices that detect and count single particles of light, and for serving the community through professional leadership, mentoring students, etc.

Recognized for pioneering contributions made to the field of theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical physics, including her paradigm-shifting theories on atomic collisions, which led to the development of the world’s most accurate atomic clock.

Established the first primary standard to measure optical fiber-based laser power by exploiting the team’s innovative coatings, which are the most light-absorbing, or blackest, material ever made. The team’s innovation will enhance telecommunications...

Created the world’s best atomic force microscope tailored to biological measurements. Dr. Perkins’ technologies and results are improving drug design and advancing biomedical research on cancer and brain diseases.
