Biography

Greg has worked as a mass and density metrologist at the Measurement Standards laboratory since 2005. His work includes calibration of hydrometers, density standards, volumetric glassware, and weights and balances from the high-accuracy state-of-the-art level (about 1 in 100 million) to those used in trade and industry, which require an accuracy of 0.1 %. His current research interests include the automation of mass comparisons.
