David Seidman
David Seidman, (Ph.D. in Physical Metallurgy and Physics, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign), Walter P. Murphy Professor of Materials Science, McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science; member of the National Science Foundation Funded Materials Research Center. His research interests include: Evolving microstructure on both atomic and mesoscopic scales; Solute-atom segregation and two-dimensional phase transitions at homo- and heterophase interfaces; Physical properties of homo- and heterophase interfaces; Ceramic/Metal heterophase interfaces; Growth and characterization of heavy fermion superconductors, e.g., UPt3; High-temperature creep properties of Al(Sc,X) alloys and the relationship to microstructure; Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, and simulations relevant to the preceding scientific areas; Atomic imperfections and diffusion; Particle radiation effects in metals and metal oxides and ion implantation; Three-dimensional atom-probe microscopy; Field-ion and atom-probe microscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy; Transmission and analytic electron microscopy. Recent honors and awards include: 2001-2003 National Science Foundation Creativity Extension Award; 2000-2001 President, International Field Emission Society; 2000 Microscopy of Society of America award for Best Materials Paper appearing in Microscopy and Microanalysis; 1997 Fellow of the TMS (Minerals•Metals•Materials); 1993 Max Planck Research Prize of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft and the Alexander Von Humboldt Stiftung (awarded jointly with the late Peter Haasen). Seidman was a Visiting Scientist at the Centre d’Etudes Nucléaires de Saclay (1989) at the Centre National d’Etudes des Telecommunicatin, Meylan and the Centre d’Etudes Nucléaires de Grenoble (1981). He has also strong ties to the CRMC2-CNRS laboratory at the université dela Mediterané, Luminy. Seidman is the organizor for the December workshop in Materials Science, co-organized by FIG, which will involve researchers from NU and the CNRS. Starting in fall 2004 he is an “Expert Consulting Member for the Scientific, Technical and Pedagogical Division, Dept. of Physics, French Ministry of Education, Higher Learning and Research in Paris.
