Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Fowler is a physicist with 11 years of professional experience specializing in precision metrology and instrumentation for x-ray and millimeter-wave applications. He leads metrological measurements and builds data acquisition and analysis software for laboratory x-ray instruments at NIST, after a long research tenure at University of Colorado Boulder focused on X-ray/gamma spectrometer analysis and millimeter-wave astronomy. His background includes leading instrument design, optical systems and data pipelines for cosmology projects at Princeton, where he also developed site software and supervised cross-disciplinary student teams. Comfortable at the intersection of experimental hardware and scientific software, he brings rare expertise in both calibration-driven measurement science and production-grade data systems. Based in Boulder, he pairs a PhD from the University of Chicago with hands-on experience deploying instruments in challenging field environments, from Chilean high deserts to national metrology labs.
