Roger Brown, a physicist at NIST, is leading the development of a portable optical lattice clock. This project aims to redefine the SI second, benchmark commercial and industrial optical clocks, and serve as a quantum sensor to test General Relativity through geodetic measurements.
Brown’s background includes a Ph.D. from the Joint Quantum Institute and experience in various NIST groups. His expertise makes him well-suited to lead this important work in quantum standards and related technical updates.
