Physics Research at NIST

and the Foreign Guest Researcher Program

I will describe the current physics research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). From quantum computing to atomic clocks to condensed matter physics, NIST scientists are at the forefront of modern research, and the four Nobel prizes received by NIST physicists over the last 20 years point out to the impressive achievements in this field. Also I will briefly describe the Foreign Guest Researcher program at NIST and the opportunities it offers to foreign scientists.

About the Speaker

Yuri's research is focused on development of the Internet atomic databases, high-precision atomic structure calculations, modeling of plasma population kinetics and other aspects of plasma spectroscopy. This work includes multi-configuration Hartree-Fock and Dirac-Fock calculations of atomic properties (energies, oscillator strengths, etc.), development of methods for disseminating scientific data over the World Wide Web, collisional-radiative modeling of non-Maxwellian transient plasmas, quantum-mechanical calculation of electron-impact broadening in multiply-charged ions.
