CCEM-CCM Webinar - In memory of Dr Bryan Kibble: an outstanding metrologist

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐃𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐲𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐢𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲? In this joint CCEM-CCM webinar, Dr Ian Robinson from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), United Kingdom, presents "In memory of Dr Bryan Kibble: an outstanding metrologist." The webinar commemorates Dr Bryan Kibble, the originator of the Kibble balance, ten years after his passing, on 28 April 2016. His work played a central role in enabling the replacement of the last artefact standard in the International System of Units: the International Prototype of the Kilogram. Dr Robinson explores Dr Kibble’s pioneering work on the Kibble balance and its importance in the 2019 revision of the SI, in which the kilogram was redefined in terms of a fixed numerical value of the Planck constant. The presentation also covers Dr Kibble’s contributions to precise measurements of AC impedance using coaxial techniques. The webinar includes reflections on Dr Kibble’s wider contributions to metrology, illustrated through memories and perspectives from friends and colleagues. --- Whether you work in electrical metrology, mass metrology, fundamental constants, precision measurement or the history of the SI, this webinar offers a valuable insight into the legacy of one of metrology’s most influential figures. 🔗 Learn more about the work of the Consultative Committee for Electricity and Magnetism (CCEM): https://www.bipm.org/en/committees/cc... 🔗 Learn more about the work of the Consultative Committee for Mass and Related Quantities (CCM): https://www.bipm.org/en/committees/cc... 🌐 Visit the BIPM website: https://www.bipm.org/en/ #Metrology #CCEM #CCM #BryanKibble #KibbleBalance #SIUnits #Kilogram #PlanckConstant #BIPM
