Vladislav Gerginov (Fed)

Vladislav Gerginov is a Senior Research Associate at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado Boulder. His areas of research are atomic physics and atomic frequency metrology. He has worked on atomic frequency standards and metrology, deep ultraviolet metrology, and atomic spectroscopy, metrology, and sensing. He participated in the chip-scale atomic clock program at NIST, evaluated and operated the Primary Frequency Standard (caesium atomic fountain clock) PTB-CSF2 at Germany’s national metrology institute Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, developed atomic sensors for magnetic and microwave field detection, and is currently working on the Primary Frequency Standards at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He graduated with a MSc degree from Sofia University, Bulgaria in 1995, and with a PhD degree from the University of Notre Dame, IN in 2003.
