    Current Positions

  • Physicist, Time and Frequency Division, NIST
  • Fellow of JILA (http://jilawww.Colorado.edu)
  • Professor Adjoint, Department of Physics, University of Colorado, Boulder
  • Fellow of the American Physical Society
  • Member of the American Geophysical Union

    Research Interests

  • Characterizing clocks: developing time scales and algorithms

    This work includes the operation of the hardware that measures the times of the clocks in the NIST clock ensemble, the analysis of these data using the AT1 time scale and the processes that display, analyze and transmit its results. A complete upgrade of the clock measurement system is planned for 2000-2001, and this upgrade will probably also include a complete re-design of these algorithms.

  • National and International time coordination

    This work includes steering UTC(NIST) to UTC using data received from the BIPM, and transmitting clock data to the BIPM and to other national laboratories. It also includes studies of methods for time transfer using both satellite and ground-based techniques.

  • Digital Time Services
  • Carrier-phase GPS
  • Authentication and certification of time signals
