2023 Silver Medal Award
AWARD CITATION
The group is recognized for inventing and implementing a new optomechanical sensing platform to develop sensitive, intrinsically accurate, and field-deployable accelerometers. These are the first accelerometers shown to not require external calibration while providing SI traceability, with the lowest uncertainty for vibration sensing. The accelerometers are more compact than competing technologies, providing an important advantage for commercial adoption. These sensors enable important new capabilities for characterizing transportation systems, space exploration, and inertial navigation.
