Dr Peter Harris has worked at NPL since 1986 in the areas of mathematical and statistical modelling and experimental data analysis, uncertainty evaluation, algorithm design, numerical software development and software testing applied to a variety of measurement problems, including those arising in the areas of acoustical, electrical, dimensional, environmental, mass and time metrology, and analytical science. He received a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Bath in 1986 and his PhD on spline approximation from the University of Brunel in 1991. He is a Principal Research Scientist in the Data Science Group at NPL, currently involved in projects on using sensor networks for environmental and climate monitoring, and on using data within the “factory of the future” and the “digitally-enabled supply chain” in support of advanced manufacturing.
Peter is a member of BSI Committees SS/6 Precision of test methods, SS/6/-/3 Measurement uncertainty, SS/2 Statistical interpretation of data, and is a member of the CCAUV Key Comparison Working Group.
