An <atomic physicist> who coauthored a NIST compendium of <atomic spectroscopy> with <Wolfgang Wiese>. It connects the labeling of <energy levels> with <spectral lines>, transition strengths and selection rules. These conventions allow a measured spectrum to be compared with tabulated atomic data without confusing a level designation, a wavelength and an intensity.<Atomic Spectroscopy - A Compendium of Basic Ideas, Notation, Data, and Formulas by William C. Martin and Wolfgang Wiese>[Contents: atomic states, spectral lines, transition probabilities and selection rules]{ref}
