Chandler A Becker (Fed)
Dr. Chandler A Becker works as a scientific data consultant in the NIST Material Measurement Laboratory's (MML) Office of Data and Informatics. She started at NIST as an NRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow and was then hired as staff in the Metallurgy (later Materials Science and Engineering) Division, where she created the NIST Interatomic Potentials Repository and worked on projects related to atomistic materials model selection and applicability to materials design. This work was recognized by a NIST/DOC Bronze medal and NIST Sigma Xi Katharine Gebbie Young Investigator Award.
Since moving to the Office of Data and Informatics, Dr. Becker has worked mostly on projects related to materials data availability, and she is currently a member of the data management team for the Additive Manufacturing Benchmark Test Series (https://www.nist.gov/ambench).
Dr. Becker also works on application of data science approaches across various MML disciplines (particularly materials science) with an emphasis on techniques for analytic reproducibility, documentation, sharing, and reusability. Her data-science learning coordination efforts also support professional data-science skill development for NIST staff, and Dr. Becker is an organizer and instructor for NIST's Carpentries workshops and tutorials to facilitate programming and data skills for researchers.
