Douglas is in the Optical Frequency Metrology (OFM) group of the Time and Frequency department, working in NPL’s ytterbium ion optical frequency standard team. Through research on this optical standard, Douglas is studying for a PhD at the University of Strathclyde on the topic of “Optical Frequency Metrology for Improved Time Scales”.
Prior to joining OFM, Douglas was in the National Time Scale Group, where he worked on improving the resilience of the UK’s national time scale UTC(NPL) as part of the National Timing Centre.
Douglas joined NPL in November 2020 after graduating with an MSci in Physics from the University of Birmingham. During his undergraduate degree, Douglas was a summer intern at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
Douglas is a member of the Institute of Physics.
