2022 Andy Henson
This year’s winner, Andy Henson, started
his career with a degree in mechanical engineering and following specialist
qualifications gained in the USA worked as a chartered Engineer on the
certification of nuclear reactors and systems before joining the Joint European
Torus (JET) thermonuclear fusion project in Culham, UK during the period when
JET was setting new world records. In 1997 Andy joined the European Commission
managing a portfolio of some of the first collaborative projects on measurement
standards and had his first contact with NIST in his additional role as a
technical advisor in the EU – US trade negotiations.
His coordination and leadership skills were
spotted by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in the UK who recruited Andy in
2000 as the first full-time staff member in their International Liaison Office.
It was from this office at NPL that Andy conceived the first proposal for pan-European
research on measurement standards and took the leadership of a series of projects
that culminated in the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP). He led the
core team of NMI Directors gaining the support of the European Parliament, the
Council of Ministers, and the European Commission, and negotiating the contract
for the EMRP on behalf of the (then) 22 NMIs. This programme revolutionized the
way that metrology research was organized in Europe. Together with its
successor programmes, it brought more than 1 billion dollars of income to the
metrology community. It has provided a platform for leading-edge research that has
led to a greater emphasis on quantifying the impact of all metrology activities,
on collaboration with stakeholders from an early stage, and on inclusive
involvement.
In 2010, Andy moved to the International
Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in Sevres as the first Director of
International Liaison and Communication. His first task was to organize the
expansion of the work of the BIPM through the incorporation of new Member and
Associate States. He travelled through all the regions of the world as an
advocate for the benefit for multi-lateral cooperation on measurement standards
and metrology. He supported many NMIs in finding new ways to promote their work
to governments and to build the case for acceding to the Metre Convention. His efforts
have contributed to a 25% increase in the number of States who have signed the
Metre Convention now reaching 64.
Another substantial achievement of his with
impact internationally has been his work to raise the level of recognition for
metrology as an essential pillar in the international quality infrastructure.
He represented the BIPM as a founder member of the International Network for
Quality infrastructure (INETQI) which now coordinates QI amongst 14
International Organizations addressing trade and development. He further raised
the voice of measurement science as one of the most influential participants in
the development of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by ISO-CASCO, and he became the
first official observer for the BIPM at the WTO Committee on Technical Barriers
to Trade.
His work is driven by his passion for spreading
the message about the role of metrology widely around the world. In 2016, he launched
the BIPM’s Capacity Building and Knowledge Transfer programme which has now involved
more than 2700 participants from 102 countries. On realizing the possible impact
of the global pandemic, he re-focused the BIPM’s CBKT activities under the
umbrella of “BIPM e-learning” to provide a professional training and education
platform open not only to the BIPM but also open to all Regional Metrology
Organizations (RMOs). He is a regular lecturer on all of BIPM’s outreach
activities, and his talks are consistently rated as amongst the most useful by participants.
Andy is immensely well-known and popular amongst
metrologists world-wide. He has been the BIPM representative to the NCSLI
Board for more than 10 years where he has done much to build links between
the two organizations and has encouraged many NMIs to become
affiliated to the NCSLI. Prior to joining BIPM he represented EURAMET at the
NCSLI Board for several years. He has been a regular participant at NCSL International
conferences where he has used his networking skills in efforts to build support
for metrology amongst industrial and government users. All the RMOs have at
some time or other, sought his advice and benefitted from his deep
understanding of how metrology can be presented and developed. He brings great
energy and creativity to all his interactions and is a true pioneer in
promoting metrology at the international level. His leadership has inspired many
NMIs in the search for new ways to increase their impact nationally and internationally.
2021 Bob Stern
When former NCSLI
President, Dave Abell, retired from HP in 2003, he reached out to engineering
on the importance for someone to continue HP/Agilent/ (now Keysight) participation
at NCSLI, especially on standards committees. Answering that call, Bob has been
active on NCSLI committees concerned with calibration standards and chaired the
NCSLI Standards Writing Group from 2014 to 2019. He has authored numerous conference
papers, tutorials, learning labs, and has spoken at many NCSLI regional
meetings.
When ISO/IEC 17025:2005
was published, Bob pushed for a common understanding of how to address “When
statements of conformance are made, measurement uncertainty shall be taken into
account” (see 5.10.4.2). Although he never voted “Yes” for adoption of ANS/NCSL
Z540.3 (preferring international standards), Bob did participate in the NCSLI
Z540.3 Handbook development, especially the 6 published compliance methods to
ensure ≤ 2 % PFA.
When CASCO
working group 44 started up the revision of ISO/IEC 17025, Bob participated in
the NCSLI ad-hoc group to provide the top NCSLI requested changes. He
maintained a close relationship with those committee members working on clauses
related to Pass/Fail decision rules (7.1.3, 7.8.6.1). As each CASCO version
(CD1, CD2, DIS, FDIS) became available, Bob sponsored joint NCSLI 171/174/146
teleconference reviews to encourage quality inputs to our two NCSLI CASCO
participants. Once ISO/IEC 17025:2017 was published he participated at ILAC standards
meetings and was a co-author of ILAC-G8:09/2019 Guidelines on Decision Rules
and Statements of Conformity.
Bob is passionate
about education on the importance of accuracy/measurement uncertainty in all
measurements and the resulting impact on Pass/Fail statements. He is co-author
of 3 NCSLI papers, a new NCSLI tutorial, and has participated on several NCSLI
panels. He is also the presenter of 13 YouTube videos on various calibration
topics.
Bob is a graduate
of the University of Wisconsin with BSEE and MSEE degrees. He joined Hewlett
Packard in 1976 in the same department as then current NCSLI President, John
Minck.
When he started,
there were only 14 programmable (HP-IB then) IEEE-488 instruments in existence.
He wrote software for a first ever automated test system for AM and FM
transceivers using 12 of those early instruments. There was such an early
customer demand for programmable instruments and automation, that HP designated
“HP-IB Specialist” experts to work with customers. For several years, Bob was
their trainer.
John Minck knew
the direct correspondence of receiver sensitivity measurements to usable range
to low level RF signal generator accuracy, and he encouraged the HP lab to
develop an instrument that Cal Labs could use to make accurate measurements at
1 µV (-107dBm). Bob was part of the introduction team of the 8902A Measuring
receiver that is still used in many labs today. That was his first exposure to
the need for accurate measurements in calibration lab applications.
Bob “retired” in January
2019 from Keysight Technologies after 43 years of service and now consults part
time as Principal Metrologist, Emeritus. He remains active on several NCSLI committees. He was a lead editor for the NCSLI Handbook for ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and is currently supporting NCSLI contributions on
the revision of ISO 10012.
2020 No Award
No award due to impact of the pandemic and the cancellation of the Workshop & Symposium
2019 Georgia Harris
NCSLI will best remember Georgia Harris for her outstanding sustained support for “Education” and has brought a new focus to this much needed area. Georgia has over 30 years of work in the U.S. Weights and Measures. Five with the State of Minnesota
and 27 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Georgia is responsible for the evaluation and recognition of the State weights and measures laboratories and the ongoing training and proficiency testing of State weights and
measures metrologists. Her work effectively ensures quality measurement results for over 350,000 calibrations annually, half of which form the foundation for the U.S. legal metrology system. Georgia oversees and provides metrology training at
NIST and regional training events, ongoing training support and evaluation of measurement proficiency results for over 150 State and industry metrologists, through regional measurement assurance programs.
Georgia ensures the research, development, and publication of numerous documentary standards required for effective Weights and Measures field enforcement and laboratory activities. Ms. Harris has published and presented papers and conducted metrology
and adult education training throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, South Africa, and Colombia. Georgia was a member of the NCSL International Board of Directors for 20 years, including the position of President. She chaired the NCSL International
Education Liaison and Outreach Committee for many years and won best paper awards from, NCSL International, MSC and the American Society for Engineering Education. She was a NIST liaison to the Measurement Science Conference for NIST Seminars
for 12 years and is a past Secretary of the ASQ Measurement Quality Division and she continues to be active in adult education and metrology education outreach.
2018 Dr. Richard Davis
Dr. Davis has been, to many metrologists worldwide known as “Mr Mass” in his role as leader of the Mass standard group at the BIPM (International Bureau of Weights and Measures). Richard took this post at the BIPM after an extensive research career
at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST. Dr. Davis’s research was not limited to only mass measurement. His research in electrochemistry and the density of air enabled insights into a more precise formulation of the air density
formula (the modified Edlen equation) and so to improved precision and accuracy in mass measurements. He also developed a unique magnetic susceptibility measuring instrument which enables more accurate values for the magnetic characteristics of
the stainless-steel weights used as the work-horse of mass measurements worldwide.
Dr. Davis has also been central to the development of our current understanding of mass standards and balances. As “Keeper of the Kilogram,” his custodianship of the International Prototype Kilogram and his extensive and influential work on its proposed
redefinition, have led to world-wide confidence in the realization of the new definition and its future dissemination. He played a key role in the building of the BIPM's Kibble (Watt) balance and he has been instrumental in the construction of
other Kibble balances used in NMIs which have contributed to the crucial measurements of the Planck Constant, which are soon to be at the heart of the new definition.
2017 Christopher Grachanen
Chris has authored numerous Metrology articles appearing in Quality Progress, Test & Measurement World magazine, NCSLI’s Measure and Cal Lab magazine. Chris authors the Educator's Corner column for NCSLI's quarterly newsletter and is a regular
contributor to the American Society for Quality (ASQ), Measurement Quality Division's (MQD) quarterly newsletter The Standard. Chris was a coauthor of ASQ's The Metrology Handbook and received NCSLI's 1998 Dr. Allan V. Astin award for best conference
paper outlining experiences learned from laboratory accreditation. In addition Chris was awarded NCSLI 2006 Quality & Management best conference paper for the Metrology Job Description Initiative.
One of Chris's major metrology training and education efforts was to spearhead the creation of job descriptions for calibration technicians, calibration engineers and Metrologists for inclusion in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Standard Occupational
Classification (SOC) listing. The SOC is updated once every ten years and is the foundation for the Bureau's Outlook Occupational Handbook used by educators and counselors to provide career guidance to high school and college students. To this
end, Chris chairs the NCSLI 163.1 Working Group on Standard Occupational Classifications which developed formal job descriptions submitted to the SOC and which were recently used in the 2007 NCSLI Benchmarking survey. The working group currently
is in correspondence with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) trying to standardize occupation classifications across government agencies and will be developing standard HR packages for disseminating information about metrology occupations.
Chris has been a regular presenter at NCSLI regional meetings since 1992 as well as presenting at NCSLI's national conferences, ASQ's Measurement Quality Conference and conducting free workshops on measurement uncertainty topics for industry. Chris
was one of the founding members of NCSLI’s Metrology Education & Training Outreach committee and a major contributor for NCSLI’s newly revised recommended practice on Calibration Procedures RP-3. Chris championed the creation of ASQ's Certified
Calibration Technician (CCT) body of knowledge which spanned nearly four years with participation from hundreds of calibration practitioners from the U.S. Dept. of Defense, U.S. Dept. of Energy, NASA, academic institutes, fortune 100 companies
and private calibration facilities. The CCT body of knowledge had been the foundation for numerous training courses as well as several outstanding training publications.
