Biographical Information
Daniel M. Fleetwood received
his B. S., M. S., and Ph. D. degrees in Physics from Purdue University
in 1980, 1981, and 1984. Dan joined Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, in 1984, and was named a Distinguished
Member of the Technical Staff in the Radiation Technology and Assurance
Department in 1990. In 1999 he left Sandia to accept the position of
Professor of Electrical Engineering at Vanderbilt
University in Nashville, Tennessee.
In 2000, he was also named a Professor of Physics, in 2001 he was appointed
Associate Dean for Research of the Vanderbilt School of Engineering, and in
2003 he was named Chair of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Department. Dan is the author of more than 350 publications on radiation
effects in microelectronics, ten of which have been recognized with
Outstanding Paper Awards. These papers have been cited more than 6300 times
(citation h factor = 45). In 2009, he received the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma
Sciences Society’s Merit Award. In 1997 Dan received R&D 100 and Industry
Week Magazine awards for co-invention of a new type of computer memory chip
based on mobile protons in SiO2. This chip was also recognized as
Discover Magazine’s 1998 Invention of the Year in computer hardware and
electronics. Dan is a Fellow of both the Institute for Electrical and
Electronics Engineers and The American Physical Society, and a member of Phi
Beta Kappa and Sigma Pi Sigma. Dan was the 8th American to earn the
International Correspondence Chess GrandMaster title, played Board 1 for the
United States Correspondence Chess Olympics team in the 15th
Olympiad Final (http://www.iccf-webchess.com/),
and finished 8th in the 18th International Correspondence Chess
Championship.
