Julia Scherschligt is an expert in vacuum and pressure metrology with decades of experience in instrument science. She has an active research program in realizing the pascal at ultra and extreme high vacuum using techniques from atomic physics. She is the NIST representative to the Working Group for Pressure and Vacuum in the Consultative Committee for Mass and Related Quantities (CCM-WGPV) and is active on several other international committees.
Julia joined NIST in 2007, working for several years in the Condensed Matter Science group at the NIST Center for Neutron Research before joining the Physical Measurement Laboratory as the leader of the Thermodynamic Metrology group. Her educational background includes topics from thermometry and vacuum.
