Dr. James Hill joined the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards) as a Mechanical Engineer in the Thermal Engineering Section, Center for Building Technology, in September 1972. He served as Leader of the Thermal Solar Group from 1978 to 1980 and Chief of the Building Equipment Division from June 1980 until October 1986 when the Division was expanded and reorganized as the Building Environment Division. During the calendar year 1983, Dr. Hill served as a Program Analyst in the NBS Office of the Director. Dr. Hill resumed his duties as Division Chief in January 1984. From 1994 to 1997, Dr. Hill was on a part-time assignment in the NIST Advanced Technology Program administering a three-year program on Refrigeration Technology. Dr. Hill became Deputy Director of the Building and Fire Research Laboratory in February 1999 to October 2003. His responsibilities included strategic planning, program and professional development for the Laboratory. In October 2003, he was appointed Acting Director of the Building and Fire Research Laboratory. In August of 2004, he was appointed Director of the Building and Fire Research Laboratory. Dr. Hill is currently serviing as NIST Acting Deputy Director. Dr. Hill was Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland for three years before joining NBS in 1972. Dr. Hill is a member of American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), has held numerous positions on committees and councils of the Society since 1972, and was the Society's President in 1996-1997. He was named a Fellow of ASHRAE in 1992 and received their Distinguished Service Award in 1995. He held student memberships in Tau Beta Pi, Pi Tau Sigma, Omicron Delta Kappa, and Phi Kappa Phi. He is listed in the 11th edition of American Men of Science. He received the Crosby Field Award from ASHRAE for the best overall Technical Paper in 1975 and received an additional ASHRAE award in 1976 for the Best Technical Paper presented at the 1976 Seattle Annual Meeting. He received the 1976 Department of Commerce (DOC) Silver Medal for "significant national and international contributions to the development of efficient solar energy systems." He has authored over sixty technical papers in the building research/solar energy area. In 1988 and 1998, the President of the United States conferred the rank of Meritorious Executive in the Senior Executive Service on Dr. Hill. From 1985-1991, Dr. Hill served on the advisory committee for the Architectural and Engineering Department at the Pennsylvania State University and is currently on the advisory committee for the Mechanical Engineering Department of Georgia Tech and the Environmental Energy Technologies Division of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. In 1994, Dr. Hill was named DOC-NIST Engineer of the Year and received the Department of Commerce Gold Medal for "significant technical leadership in mechanical engineering research to improve environmental systems of buildings". |
