Nathan Nakamura (Assoc)

Nathan Nakamura is a physicist in the Quantum Sensors Group at NIST. His research interests include the use of superconducting x-ray microcalorimeters for applications such as computed tomography and x-ray spectroscopy and the application of Monte Carlo approaches to model superconducting x-ray sensors and associated instrumentation. He joined NIST in 2020 as a National Research Council (NRC) postdoctoral fellow.
