Artur A. Chernovsky (Fed)

Electronics Engineer

Artur A. Chernovsky is an electronics engineer in the National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL). Mr. Chernovsky joined NIST in 2009 as an electronics engineer. Mr. Chernovsky first joined NIST in 1997 as a winner of President Yeltsin fellowship for continuing education abroad, conducting smoke detectors studies as guest researcher. Prior to 2009, Mr. Chernovsky worked as a hardware/software engineer at Picometrix, LLC, an API company. Mr. Chernovsky was recognized as a co-inventor of the world's first commercially available terahertz instrument. He developed NI LabVIEW-based tools for terahertz instrumentations like image creation, reconstruction, manipulation, online inspections systems, security scanning and advance post-processing.

Mr. Chernovsky is currently responsible for developing the data acquisition hardware and software systems.  Mr. Chernovsky is currently working as an automation expert, he developed a NFRL software development suite, which allows the engineer and scientist to collect data from various numerical sensors, video sources, and audio sources, so that each data point in real-time is stamped with precision time and meta-tagged for ease of integration into any database.   Mr. Chernovsky is a developer of video editing and capturing tools for regular cameras, infrared cameras, thermal, high speed and industrial cameras. He developed tools to save video data from various proprietary output formats into a standard or common video output. To enhance lab safety, Mr. Chernovsky developed various microelectronic (IOT) devices to assist with real-time visualization of live experiments at NFRL. These various devices display critical data in a clear format to provide experimental controls and safety monitoring to relay information across the laboratory floor. The high impact microelectronic devices and tools were then transitioned into simple web based applications on hand held devices to show real time experimental data for monitoring the experiments.
