498 MILLENNIUM-SECOND EDITION G rowing up with his parents, both scientists, it was befitting that Dr. Steadman followed suit. He received a bachelor’s degree with a major in physics from the University of Rochester. Continuing his education at Rutgers University, he completed a Master of Science and PhD in nuclear physics. He held positions at the Universities of Erlangen-Nürnberg and Freiburg in Germany before joining the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His career as a researcher and faculty member culminated with roles at MIT as a senior research scientist and associate director of the Laboratory for Nuclear Science. While at MIT, he took leave to serve as guest scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg and with the National Science Foundation. He also separated from MIT for five years to serve, ultimately as senior nuclear physics advisor, with the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. He defines success as performing outstanding experiments in science and teaching students well, as recognized in his becoming a fellow of the American Physical Society. He has also been active in leadership roles with the Episcopal Church, serving as warden of his parish and on the Diocesan Council.
