NIST had an operating budget for fiscal year 2007 (October 1, 2006 – September 30, 2007) of about $843.3 million. NIST's 2009 budget was $992 million, and it also received $610 million as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. [18] NIST employs about 2,900 scientists, engineers, technicians, and support and administrative personnel.
The National Academies have cited the strength and breadth of the NIST Communication Technology Laboratory programs under Dowell's leadership. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] In June 2023, Dowell joined CHIPS for America as director of the CHIPS Metrology Program, where she will expand and advance NIST's efforts to deliver a robust measurement science foundation ...
Katharine Blodgett Gebbie (July 4, 1932 – August 17, 2016) was an American astrophysicist and civil servant.She was the founding director of the Physical Measurement Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and of its two immediate predecessors, the Physics Laboratory and the Center for Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, both for which she was the only ...
JILA's members hold faculty appointments in the Departments of Physics; Astrophysical and Planetary Science; Chemistry and Biochemistry; and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology as well as Engineering. JILA’s Quantum Physics Division of NIST members hold joint faculty appointments at CU in the same departments.
The physics package of the NIST chip-scale atomic clock. A chip scale atomic clock (CSAC) is a compact, low-power atomic clock fabricated using techniques of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and incorporating a low-power semiconductor laser as the light source.
Hight Walker works as a research physicist at NIST. She served as a program analyst in NIST Office of the Director from 2000 to 2001 and was an invited researcher at Laboratoire Aimé Cotton in Orsay from 2005 to 2006. She is a project leader.
In January 2018, Wineland moved to the Department of Physics University of Oregon as a Knight Research Professor, [8] while still being engaged with the Ion Storage Group at NIST in a consulting role. Wineland was the first to laser-cool ions in 1978. His NIST group uses trapped ions in many experiments on fundamental physics, and quantum state ...
