Guest Seminar by Professor Graham Machin

The Manufacturing Metrology Team warmly invites you to attend their Guest Seminar given by

Professor Graham Machin.   

 

Artefact free measurement: the redefinition of the international system of units.

Guest speaker: Professor Graham Machin Biography:

Professor Graham Machin is the science leader of the NPL Temperature and Humidity Group and an NPL Fellow. He has more than 28 years’ experience in thermometry research, published more than 220 technical papers and given numerous invited/keynote addresses. He has been an invited guest researcher at institutes in Japan and the USA, currently holds a visiting senior researcher position at the National Institute of Metrology, China. He is visiting Professor of Thermometry in Harsh Environments (University of Strathclyde), visiting Professor of Clinical Thermal Imaging (University of South Wales), Distinguished Visiting Fellow (colaborador honorífico) (University of Valladolid, Spain) and Honorary Professor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He represents the UK on the Consultative Committee of Thermometry (CCT) and IMEKO TC12, chairs the CCT working group for Noncontact thermometry and was chair of the Euramet Technical Committee for Thermometry (TC-T) from 2014 to 2018. In addition he has served on the EPSRC Physical Sciences Strategic Advisory Team, and is an international invited expert on the Chinese Academy of Sciences “very low temperature thermometry” project (2017-2022).

 

GM was awarded the Institute of Measurement and Control (InstMC) Callendar medal in 2012 for “outstanding contributions to the art of temperature measurement” and a visiting fellowship of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (2017). He is currently the President of the InstMC (2018-2019).

Current research interests are primary thermometry (acoustic, radiometric and especially all aspects of implementing and realizing the redefined kelvin), radiation thermometry and thermal imaging, new thermocouples, sensor self-validation methods, clinical thermometry (contact, non-contact and internal), reliable temperature (and other) measurements in hostile environments (especially aerospace and nuclear decommissioning) and metrology for wound prevention.

He is project director of “Implementing the new kelvin” and the forthcoming Realising the redefined kelvin (Sep2019) for EURAMET
