Mohsin Haji is a Principal Scientist in the Time and Frequency department at NPL. He obtained a BEng honours degree from City University London in 2007 and a PhD from the University of Glasgow in 2012. He has authored and co-authored over 80 peer-reviewed publications and is a reviewer for several IEEE and OSA journals.
Mohsin leads NPL’s activities on the development of next-generation holdover atomic clock technologies in collaboration with several manufacturing companies.
