Professor Adam Kaufman (Physics), a JILA fellow and NIST physicist, has been awarded a grant as part of the 2023 Young Investigator Research Program (YIP), launched by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. YIP recipients receive three-year grants of up to $450K.
NIST and CU Boulder researchers continually work to improve the accuracy of the atomic clocks housed in their laboratories. In the case of the NIST-F1 cesium atomic clock, which serves as the U.S.'s primary time and frequency standard, this process has included rebuilding parts of the clock.
The prize, part of the Chicago Quantum Exchange, promotes early career research and diversity within the field of quantum science. Young was recognized for his contributions to the strontium tweezer array experiment in JILA Fellow and NIST physicist Adam Kaufman's lab.
