Yuqin Zong (Fed)
Yuqin Zong is the project leader of NIST photometry and a senior electronics engineer in NIST's Sensor Science Division. He has more than 30 years' experience in photometry, colorimetry, and spectroradiometry. His job responsibilities are to develop state-of-the-art measurement technology through research, to realize the NIST scales in photometry, to provide calibration services to the industry, and to participate in the development of the U. S. and international industrial standards.
His recent research is focused on areas such as correction of stray light for array spectrometers and imaging instruments, measurements of LEDs and solid-state lighting (SSL) products, and calibration of optical sensors and imagers using pulsed tunable lasers.
Yuqin is the official member of the CIE Division 2 for the United States, and was the chairman of the technical committee 2-63 for the publication of CIE 225:2017 "Optical Measurement of High-Power LEDs.” He was the chair of the IES working group for the ANSI/IES standard LM-85-23 “Optical and Electrical Measurement of LED Sources,” and the chair of the IES working group for the ANSI/IES standard LM-88-18 "Measurement of AC LEDs.”
Yuqin is the inventor for two US patents. He was a 2008 recipient of the Department of Commerce Bronze Medal Award for Superior Federal Service for innovation in visible light measurement and standards in support of the conventional and burgeoning SSL industries and was a 2015 recipient of the Edward Bennett Rosa Award for enabling the successful development and commercialization of innovative solid-state lighting products through the creation of foundational standards.
