Dr. Bala Muralikrishnan has a Ph.D. in
mechanical engineering from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He
is a mechanical engineer in the Dimensional Metrology Group in the Sensor
Science Division of the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He served as the chair of the ASME
B89.4.19 committee involved in the revision of the laser tracker standard and as the technical lead for the ASTM E3125-17 standards effort for
terrestrial laser scanners. Dr. Muralikrishnan is on the editorial board of
Surface Topography and Remote Sensing. He also served on the editorial board of
Precision Engineering and as a guest editor for a special issue on terrestrial
laser scanners for Sensors. His research is focused on modeling and detecting
errors in advanced dimensional measurement systems such as laser trackers,
terrestrial laser scanners, and X-ray CT systems.
