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 400 publications on radiation effects in
microelectronics, ten of which have been recognized with Outstanding Paper
Awards. These papers have been cited more than 8200 times (citation h factor
= 52). In 2009, he received the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society’s
Merit Award, and in 2011 he was named an Honored Professor of the Shanghai
Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of
Sciences. 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 ASEE, 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 and Board 3 in the 14th and 18th
Olympiad finals (http://www.iccf-webchess.com/),
and finished 8th in the 18th International Correspondence Chess
Championship.
