Overview

David N. Seidman is affiliated with Northwestern University in the United States. Their research focuses largely on engineering and materials science, with significant contributions to mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials chemistry, biomedical engineering, and mechanics of materials.

The scientist has contributed extensively to the understanding of aluminum alloys, with notable work on aluminum alloy microstructure properties, aluminum alloy composites properties, and high temperature alloys and creep. Their research also covers advanced materials characterization techniques, microstructure and mechanical properties (both general and specific to steels), and particle accelerators and beam dynamics.

Their recent publications include:

  • Making sustainable aluminum by recycling scrap: The science of "dirty" alloys, 2022, Progress in Materials Science
  • Precipitation strengthening in naturally aged Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy, 2020, Materials Science and Engineering A
  • Laser writing of nitrogen-doped silicon carbide for biological modulation, 2020, Science Advances
  • Effects of Cr on the properties of multicomponent cobalt-based superalloys with ultra high γ' volume fraction, 2020, Journal of Alloys and Compounds
  • Mn and Mo additions to a dilute Al-Zr-Sc-Er-Si-based alloy to improve creep resistance through solid-solution- and precipitation-strengthening, 2020, Acta Materialia

Frequent co-authors in their collaborative works include Sung-Il Baik, Dieter Isheim, Amir R. Farkoosh, David C. Dunand, and Zugang Mao.

Seidman publishes regularly in several venues, with multiple publications appearing in:

  • SSRN Electronic Journal
  • arXiv (Cornell University)
  • Acta Materialia
  • Materials Science and Engineering A
  • Journal of Alloys and Compounds

The scientist has been recognized with several awards throughout their career, including election to the National Academy of Engineering in 2018 for contributions to understanding materials at the atomic scale and advancing materials and processes.

Other distinctions include fellowships from the Materials Research Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, as well as being named an ASM Fellow and receiving the David Turnbull Lectureship from the Materials Research Society.
