Nathan Newman is an engineering professor who is Lamonte H. Lawrence Chair in Sold State Science, School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.

He earned his BS from the University of Southern California in 1981 and his PhD from Stanford University in 1987. According to his official ASU biography, "His research interests include the growth, characterization and modeling of novel solid-state materials for microwave, photonic, and high-speed applications."[1]

The IEEE Council on Superconductivity named Newman a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 2014.[2]

In 2017, at the request of the ASU Art Museum, Newman curated an exhibition called "Material Beauty" that focused on connections between art and science.[3]

In 2018, The National Academy of Inventors named Newman, who holds 13 patents, as one of its fellows.[4]

Newman also directs a program called "SCience and ENgineering Experience" (SCENE), where Phoenix-area high-school students collaborate on research with ASU professors and grad students.[5][6]

The basis of the whole program is that mentoring is such an important part of training scientists, usually as a Ph.D student you're in with other graduate students and post docs. We have expanded that plan to bring in high school students and the graduate students mentor the high school students.
