Biography

A world-class expert in low pressure and vacuum metrology, Dr. Hendricks is the Deputy Program Manager for NIST on a Chip (NOAC) Program, an innovative approach that seeks to utilize fundamental physics to develop quantum-based sensors and standards. Jay received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Johns Hopkins University, and his B.S. in Chemistry from Penn State University. He started his career at NIST as a post-doctoral fellow in 1996. He is the President-Elect for IUVSTA (International Union of Vacuum Science, Technique and Application) an organization representing > 15,000 physicists, chemists, materials scientists, engineers, and technologists linked by their common study and use of vacuum Science. Dr. Hendricks has authored 109 publications on vacuum science/ metrology/ technology/ surface chemistry/ ion-beam laser spectroscopy (source google scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=FPlA_0QAAAAJ&hl=en). He holds 6 patents in vacuum science technology. He is a two-time winner of US Department of Commerce Gold Medal, one of which was for an innovative quantum-based pressure standard.
