Biographical Sketch
Marc A. Weiss, Ph.D.
NIST, Boulder, CO
|
Marc Weiss received his B.S. degree from Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, Indiana in 1973. He received his M.S. degree in Mathematics in 1975, and his Ph.D. in Mathematical Physics in 1981, both from the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.
Dr. Weiss has worked at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, formerly the National Bureau of Standards, NBS) in Boulder Colorado since 1978. He wrote the firmware for the NBS/GPS Time Transfer System for which he received the Applied Research Award of the NBS in 1983, along with the other principals. This receiver is still used in timing laboratories throughout the world for the generation of International Atomic Time through GPS common view time transfer. He also designed and wrote the firmware for the NIST Ionospheric Measurement System, a system that uses GPS signals in a codeless mode to measure the ionospheric delay. Dr. Weiss has been active in studying and developing time transfer systems especially using the Global Positioning System, for applications such as the generation of International Atomic Time. He also has led the NIST contract with the GPS program office for support of their clocks and timing systems.
In addition Dr. Weiss has specialized in new time scale algorithms, and in synchronization in telecommunications systems. He has worked on problems with Relativity as they relate to GPS and to primary frequency standards. He has spearheaded an annual Workshop on Synchronization in Telecommunications Systems, which is now
co-sponsored each year by NIST and T1X1, the telecommunications synchronization standards committee.
