An experimental condensed matter physicist who developed a low-temperature relaxation calorimeter for small samples. A sapphire platform is connected to a cold bath by a controlled thermal link; its temperature relaxation determines heat capacity. Explaining the platform's own thermal resistances is essential before interpreting a sample's small signal as a material property.[ref]
