Julia Scherschligt (Fed)
Dr. Julia Scherschligt is an expert in metrology with decades of experience in instrument science including pressure and vacuum, cryogenics, high magnetic fields, and radiometry. She is the chair of the Working Group for Pressure and Vacuum in the Consultative Committee for Mass and Related Quantities (CCM-WGPV) which is the international organization responsible for ensuring equivalence across different laboratories in realization and dissemination of the pascal. She has served in a variety of additional roles, including as NIST liaison to the NCSLi, NIST representative to the CCM-WGPV, Leader of the Fundamental Thermodynamics Group at NIST, and is chair-elect of the AVS Vacuum Technology Division.
Since joining NIST in 2007, Dr. Scherschligt’s career has including technical, scientific, and managerial responsibilities. Her research interests focus on using tools from quantum physics to develop technologies with real-world applications. She has had an active research program in realizing the pascal at ultra and extreme high vacuum based using cold trapped atoms, and as group leader, has worked to grow additional programs in quantum, photonics, and optomechanics-based technology applications. She is a Fellow of the AVS, and has won the NIST Safety Award, the NIST Judson C. French Award, and a NIST Bronze Medal. She is currently on detail in PML headquarters.
