Ron is an expert in absorbed dose metrology based on water calorimetry, critical for the direct realization of the SI unit of dose, the gray (Gy), to which all clinical absorbed dose measurements for radiation beam therapy are traceable.
Recognized for the design and implementation of a successful freshwater conservation project. By using largely existing NIST infrastructure, existing capacity in a closed loop of recycled cooling water, and minimal new hardware costs, this project is...
For the past few decades, charge-coupled devices (CCDs) have been a dominant technology in optical to near-infrared (NIR) astronomy, but more recently, instruments incorporating superconducting detector technologies, particularly microwave kinetic...
This work will aim to improve the performance of TES detectors, a mature and widely used detector technology which utilizes a voltage-biased superconductor to sense the deposited power from photons incident on a thermally isolated island.
NIST's video "Einstein, Time and Very Small Things - with Jun Ye" received a Communicators Award of Excellence in two categories: Use of Animation for Online Video and Science for Online Video. Individuals recognized by the AIVA for this video were...
Dr. Bala Muralikrishnan is recognized for his seminal research in precision dimensional metrology, which is accelerating the adoption of next-generation coordinate scanning technologies for applications in advanced manufacturing, forensics science...
In recognition for pioneering, fundamental contributions to the understanding, design, and control of large, interacting quantum systems, with applications including quantum computers, quantum sensors, and quantum networks.
In recognition for seminal contributions to the advancement of vibrational spectroscopy and mentoring an entire generation of scientists to build a strong, diverse, and vibrant scientific community.
For pioneering contributions to phase stabilized mode-locked lasers and optical combs, fundamental tests of physics with precision optical spectroscopy, and the development and comparisons of optical atomic clocks with unprecedented precision.
For outstanding scientific leadership in the development of a state-of-the-art optical lattice clock to achieve one of the lowest atomic clock systematic uncertainties ever recorded.
