Dr. Tara Fortier is a leading researcher at NIST’s Time and Frequency Division, where she focuses on developing ultra-stable optical and microwave signals using phase-stabilized mode-locked lasers. Her work supports the atomic calibration of NIST’s microwave timescale, contributes to international time standards, and enables atomic clock comparisons that test fundamental physics principles.
In addition to her research, Dr. Fortier is actively involved in the scientific community, serving on various boards and committees, and is committed to broadening participation in science through education and outreach. Her work at NIST supports the development of advanced quantum technologies and contributes to the broader scientific community.
