Mark Clarkson

• Metrology in mass and related quantities

• PhD (Physics), Victoria University of Wellington

Mark Clarkson has worked as a metrologist since 1990 in the areas of mass, force, density, pressure and optical measurement. During this time, he has also been a technical assessor for IANZ assessments of Metrology and Calibration laboratories. He has developed and presented training workshops in mass, density and pressure measurement and uncertainty calculation for testing laboratories. Mark’s research interests include development of a non-artefact mass standard utilising a pressure balance, and he is also a guest lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington.
