What is the Role of Measurement and Data Analysis in Experimental Physics?

[Measurer]

I am an undergraduate student of physics in Toronto, looking forward to learning and exploring physics with this community. I'm generally interested in the process of measurement and the analysis of data. The finer details and discoveries of physics are intriguing; however, my love is with how things are measured, defined, and analysed. I can sometimes get philosophical in this area.

It is very nice to meet you.

Welcome to PF!

Are you considering experimental physics? It seems your interest in measurement would be a good fit. Also some countries have agencies that specialize in measurement standards like NIST in the US.National Institute of Standards and Technology
