Awards

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.

For developing single photon detectors in the commercially relevant infrared spectrum near the fundamental limits for quantum communication.

AWARD CITATION For developing the metrology to establish ultraviolet light as a safe and effective treatment for the sterilization of drinking and waste water. INDIVIDUAL AWARD Thomas C. Larason Electronics Engineer Physical Measurement Laboratory

For providing the hydrogen flow measurement and standards infrastructure to enable the broad commercialization of hydrogen-fueled vehicles.
