Measure. Innovate. Lead.
About us
We are the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. For more than a century, NIST has helped to keep U.S. technology at the leading edge. Our measurements support the smallest of technologies to the largest and most complex of human-made creations. NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. See what innovative work we’re doing to support it: https://www.nist.gov/

NIST researcher Mei Lee Ngan disguised herself to look like the TV character Ron Swanson – all for science. With that look, she could no longer unlock her own cell phone. This is an example of what facial recognition researchers like Mei call a “presentation attack.” A presentation attacker wants to fake someone else’s face or look like anyone but themselves to avoid being picked up by facial recognition technology. Learn about how NIST research is working to make facial recognition technology more effective – and keep us all safer – in our latest Taking Measure blog post: https://lnkd.in/envEabD8 #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #FacialRecognition #Technology #Identity

Nobody wants to see this on their screen. This month, we recognize the critical role of cybersecurity professionals in protecting our data, our privacy and our online lives. We also know there’s (always) more work to be done to respond to and proactively address cyber threats. Learn how you can celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness Month with us: https://lnkd.in/dA74-GNf #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #Cybersecurity #Cyberthreat

Standards aren’t just the quality we expect in things, like standards for a date or a movie. They also exist in science and play an important role in how the world works. NIST’s role in standards and measurements has been going on for the past 120+ years. Whether it’s documentary standards for building codes and communications or measurement standards for time and frequency. NIST is even working towards tackling measurement and standard problems of the 21st century: 📏 revolutionizing drug design making drugs more accessible to the wider public 📏 democratizing precision measurement so each lab can have the same world class accuracy as NIST Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gF-VkacK #Standards #Measurement #Precision

For robotics engineer Mahima Arora, the path to a career in engineering seemed obvious. As a kid, she used to watch engineering shows, specifically one called Engineering Connections. These shows fostered a sense of problem-solving and served as an inspiration to solve different engineering problems in the world around her. Fast-forward through undergraduate and graduate school with a specialization in robotics, and various internships ranging from manufacturing to medical robotics, to her arrival at NIST to work on autonomous vehicle testing. Her work involves systems interactions of the four core parts of autonomous vehicles: 🚗 artificial intelligence 🚗 cybersecurity 🚗 sensors 🚗 communication Mahima and her group aim to address big questions such as: How do the different systems interact with each other? And if something goes wrong in one system, how does that affect the performance of the vehicle? Tackling such challenges is part of what makes the research so exciting for her. #Robotics #AutonomousVehicle #Engineering #Systems #EarlyCareer

Delivered right to your newsfeed, get a roundup of our Tech Beat e-newsletter content on LinkedIn! Unlike NASA and the U.S. Postal Service, NIST’s mission is not easy to explain in a nutshell. So we were very grateful to NIST’s Jim Olthoff for encapsulating so much of what we do in his blog post below. We highly recommend it, especially if you’d like to get a big-picture view of NIST! #ScienceAndTechnology #Science #Technology #Newsletter

Artificial intelligence can create both new benefits and unprecedented risks. Because of this, the U.S. government has been engaged in efforts to support the development of safe, secure and trustworthy AI, and higher-education institutions can play a major role in contributing to these efforts. NIST has awarded $6 million to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to create a cooperative research center for testing and evaluating modern AI capabilities and tools. The center will be located in Pittsburgh on the Carnegie Mellon campus. The CMU/NIST AI Measurement Science & Engineering Cooperative Research Center will expand NIST's knowledge base and fundamental research capacity in AI. The center will focus on foundational research and developing AI system-level tooling, metrics, evaluation procedures, development processes, and best practices to help AI builders consistently engineer safe AI systems.
