Artifact for testing terrestrial laser scanner for errors arising from target optical properties
Dr. Braden Czapla (he/him/his) is a mechanical engineer in the Dimensional Metrology Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). His primary research interests are in quantifying and improving the uncertainty of laser-based measurements of length, with a focus on terrestrial laser scanner technology and interferometer design. Additionally, he is the technical lead on NIST’s Sphere Diameter by Interferometry calibration service. Prior to joining NIST, Braden earned his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Columbia University in 2019.
