Lonnie Cumberland (Fed)

Dr. Lonnie Cumberland currently works at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in Gaithersburg, Maryland as a Physicist in the Dosimetry Group of the Radiation Physics Division. His work focuses on high-dose dosimetry, researching and supporting ionizing radiation-processing activities for various applications and industry processes by assuring that the absorbed dose to the product, via dosimetry calibrations, which is often prescribed or limited by regulatory agencies, is traceable to NIST standards.

Given his diverse background in Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science, Lonnie also performs a wide variety of computer modeling & simulations, computer software development in various computer languages and on different computing platforms as well constructing, developing, maintaining, and administering a multi-node division computer cluster.
