Helen Sarah Margolis MBE is a British physicist who is a Senior Fellow and Head of Science for Time and Frequency at the National Physical Laboratory.
She completed her undergraduate and graduate training at Pembroke College, where she tested theories in quantum electrodynamics.
[3] After graduating, she remained at Oxford as a postdoctoral researcher, during which time she started working with the National Physical Laboratory.
In this capacity, she seeks to make optical clocks more robust, such that they can run reliably, reproducibly and unattended for extended periods of time.
[6] Working with Mark Walport, Margolis helped to draft the Blackett review, The Quantum Age: technological opportunities.
