Dr. Norrgard is an atomic, molecular, and optical physicist. He has been at NIST since 2017. His research primarily focuses on using atoms and molecules to create advanced thermodynamic sensors, and on precision measurements which test fundamental symmetries and physical theories. He also supports NIST’s piston gauge pressure standards, and calibration of secondary standard piston gauges, electronic pressure instruments, and special tests of customer supplied piston gauges for the range from 10 kPa to 280 MPa.
