David N. Seidman is an American materials scientist known for his work in atom-probe tomography and atomic-scale characterization of materials. He holds the title of Walter P. Murphy Professor Emeritus of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University and is the founding director of the Northwestern University Center for Atom-Probe Tomography[1] (NUCAPT).[2]
Early life and education
[edit]David N. Seidman was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1938. He attended Brooklyn Technical High School, graduating with honors in 1956. Seidman earned his Bachelor of Science in Physical Metallurgy and Physics from New York University in 1960 and his Master of Science in Physical Metallurgy in 1962. He completed his Ph.D. in Physical Metallurgy and Physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1965 under the mentorship of Robert W. Balluffi,[3] focusing on atomic defects in metals.[4]
Academic career
[edit]Seidman's academic career began at Cornell University, where he served as a professor of materials science and engineering. During his tenure, he initiated the use of field-ion microscopy in January 1966 to study point defects in quenched or irradiated materials. He also constructed the first ultrahigh vacuum atom-probe field-ion microscope that was entirely computer-controlled[4]
In 1985, Professor Seidman joined Northwestern University as a professor of materials science and engineering. He was appointed the Walter P. Murphy Professor in 1996. At Northwestern, he founded NUCAPT, which has become a leading center for atom-probe tomography research.[2] Over his career, Seidman mentored 55 Ph.D. students and 51 postdoctoral researchers, many of whom have gone on to leading positions in academia and industry. His laboratory also welcomed undergraduate and high school students, with a focus on engaging underrepresented groups in science.
