NIST dimensional metrology expert Steven David Phillips.
No full textSteven D. Philips earned a B.S. in mathematics from Washington State University, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in physics from the University of California at Santa Barbara. He also earned an MBA from Columbia Union College (now called Washington Adventist University) in 2008.
Philips held three patents and authored over 60 research publications in such diverse fields as chemistry, physics, applied optics, and precision engineering. He previously worked as a research scientist and consultant in the optics industry and joined NIST in 1989 as a research scientist in the Dimensional Metrology Group.
At NIST, Steve worked as the group leader of the Large-Scale Coordinate Metrology Group and as the program manager for dimensional metrology — the branch of measurement science devoted to precisely measuring the length and form of manufactured goods. He received Department of Commerce Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals for his work in dimensional metrology. He was the vice-chair of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers B89 committee on dimensional metrology, and he was the primary subject matter expert designated by the American National Standards Institute to represent the United States in International Standards Organization committees.
Steven D. Philips died on April 14, 2019.

Phillips won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997 (together with Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and Steven Chu) for his contributions to laser cooling, a technique to slow the movement of gaseous atoms in order to better study them, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Phillips is also a professor of physics at University of Maryland, College Park
Steven Bryant’s Solace: a conductor’s analysis and performance guide
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to examine Solace, a musical composition for wind ensemble, by Steven Bryant composed for the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Wind Ensemble and premiered at the 2013 College Band Directors National Association National Conference. Through a conductor's analysis and performance guide, the author provided insight and background knowledge to all future performers and interpreters of the work through unique first hand accounts from commission to premiere performance. The research method included three processes: 1. A detailed analysis of the musical score, 2. The observation of rehearsals and recording sessions during preparation for the premiere performance of Solace by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Wind Ensemble, Kevin M. Geraldi, conductor, 3. Extensive interviews of Steven Bryant, composer and Kevin M. Geraldi, conductor. Through examination of prior research on electro-acoustic works for wind ensemble, the author examined Solace within those constructs. Because of the blurring of lines between electronics and acoustic sound, the author further identified Solace as a unique musical composition within the electro-acoustic genre

Dr Chu Goes to Washington
No full textFor the opening of its Autumn Symposium, the Collège de France had the pleasure of welcoming Steven Chu, former US Secretary of Energy. Steven Chu started his career at the Bell laboratories, an extraordinary breeding ground for young scientists, several of whom were subsequently awarded a Nobel Prize. In 1997, he himself received the Physics Nobel Prize, along with two other researchers: Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Professor at the Collège de France, and William D. Phillips of the National Insti..
Impact of coupling an ocean model to WRF nor’easter simulations
No full textThe impact of ocean-atmosphere coupling and its possible seasonal dependence upon Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations of seven, winter-time cyclone events was investigated. Model simulations were identical aside from the degree of ocean model coupling (static SSTs, 1D mixed-layer model, full-physics 3D ocean model). Both 1D and 3D ocean model coupling simulations show that SSTs following the passage of a nor’easter did tend to cool more strongly during the early season (Oct-Dec) and were more likely to warm late in the season (Feb-Apr). Model simulations produce SST differences of up to 1.14 K, but this change did not lead to significant change in storm track ( 1) and have low-to-moderate threat scores (0.31 – 0.59). Analysis of the storm environment and the overall simulation failed to reveal any statistically significant differences in model error attributable to ocean-atmosphere coupling. Despite this result, ocean model coupling can reduce dynamical field error at a single level by up to 20%, and this was slightly greater (1-2%) with 3D ocean model coupling as compared to 1D ocean model coupling. Thus, while 3D ocean model coupling tended to generally produce more realistic simulations, its impact would likely be more profound for longer-term simulations.© Copyright 2015 American Meteorological Society (AMS).
