Dean Jarrett, Electrical Engineer 

 

Dean G. Jarrett was born in Baltimore, MD in 1967. He received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, MD in 1990, and the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, in 1995. In 1986, he joined the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), Gaithersburg, MD, now the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a Cooperative Education Student from the University of Maryland. During this time, he worked in the DC resistance area on the automation of resistance calibration systems. In 1991 he joined NIST full time as an electrical engineer working on the development of an automated AC resistance calibration system and the development of new resistance standards. Since 1994 Mr. Jarrett has worked in the high resistance laboratory developing automated measurement systems and improved standard resistors to support high resistance calibration services and key comparisons. In addition to his work at NIST, Mr. Jarrett is pursuing graduate studies in biomedical engineering at the Johns Hopkins University.
