Stephen Giblin

Stephen Giblin received a PhD from the University of Bristol in 1997, for research into high temperature superconductors. He joined NPL in 1997 to work initially on metal-oxide electron pumps with applications as quantum current standards. Since then, his research has retained a core focus on quantum current standards and has also encompassed many other areas of precision electrical metrology, including the quantum Hall effect, cryogenic current comparators for resistance measurement, and coaxial ac bridges for capacitance and ac resistance. He is a member of the Institute of Physics (IOP) with Chartered Physicist status and has authored or co-authored more than 30 papers.

Areas of interest

• Precision measurements of semiconductor electron pumps, aiming towards practical quantum current standards.
• Improving measurements of high-value standard resistors.
• Applying small-current measurement expertise to practical problems in other metrology areas, particularly ionising radiation.
