Pam Chu coordinates carbon removal, carbon capture, use, and storage and climate projects in the Material Measurement Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The program is developing the critical metrologies and standards needed to quantify carbon removal and accelerate industrial decarbonization. Pam’s laboratory research focused on the development and application of analytical spectroscopies to provide reference data and standards and to advance chemical measurement science and the fundamental understanding of chemical systems.
