From page 53...
... He has worked on diverse timekeeping systems, including cesium beam, rubidium, and mercury ion standards and precision quartz oscillators, and is sometimes referred to (by others) as "the father of the atomic clock" and "the time lord." He also works on remote synchronization techniques.

... He has been involved in directing and conducting research in a number of areas related to the generation, distribution, and measurement of ultrastable reference frequencies. His current research focuses on the development of atomic clocks based on ion traps and laser-cooled trapped atoms; development of sensors based on atom wave interferometers; study and development of ultrastable photonic oscillators and signal distribution systems; study and development of whispering-gallery-mode microresonators; and tests of fundamental physics with clocks.

... Stein is a founder and president of Timing Solutions Corporation, a company that specializes in real-time applications and provides timing systems to the national laboratories, DOD systems such as GPS, and government prime contractors. He has developed ultra-high-precision time measurement, generation, and distribution systems and is an internationally recognized leader in time and frequency measurement methods and the ensembling of clocks.
