C Cameron Miller (Fed)

Cameron Miller has had a distinguished career at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), starting in 1996. Over the years, his expertise in areas like photometry, radiometry, and measurement uncertainty has helped shape standards and practices in several critical fields. As Deputy Division Chief for the Sensor Science Division since 2022, he plays a key role in advancing research in fields such as germicidal ultraviolet irradiance and photopolymer additive manufacturing.

Cameron is highly involved in professional organizations, including the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA), CIE, and ASTM, where his contributions to standards are well-recognized. His recognition as an IES Fellow in 2022 is a testament to his leadership and impact in the lighting and photometry industries.

In addition to his research and standards work, Cameron plays an important role in the accreditation community. He serves as an assessor for the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), covering energy-efficient lighting and calibration programs, while also being a co-quality manager for the Sensor Science Division.
