Douglas joined NPL in November 2020 after graduating with an MSci in Physics from the University of Birmingham. His final year project focussed on the analysis of high energy proton & lead collisions to investigate the production of multi-strange hadrons. During his degree, he interned at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, where he programmed a muon stopping range and degrader calculator.
Since joining the National Time Scale Group, Douglas has been contributing to the development of the UK’s time scale. His research has focussed on the environmental monitoring of time scale laboratories, as well as developing software to analyse the performance of clocks, programming clock simulations and investigating time scale steering algorithms and their implementation.
Douglas is a member of the Institute of Physics.
