Stuart Davidson

Stuart joined NPL in 1987; he is the Head of Mass metrology and responsible for maintaining the UK Mass scale. Among Stuart's achievements is the pioneering use of UV cleaning techniques which will be adopted as the world's standard methodology for cleaning mass artefacts. His current research is principally concerned with maintaining the stability of the mass scale and ensuring that any redefinition of the kilogram will have the optimum traceability and usability for end users.
