Daniel Gopman (Fed)
Physicist
Daniel B. Gopman, PhD, is a staff scientist in the Materials Science and Engineering Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He earned his PhD in Physics from New York University, where he performed research on the switching properties of nanostructured spintronic devices. He presently heads the Magnetic Thin Films project, focusing on advancing measurement science and technology for magnetic thin film multilayers and patterned magnetic devices. Joining NIST in 2014 as a postdoctoral associate, he enhanced ferromagnetic resonance measurements for magnetostrictive thin films on piezoelectric substrates, integrating in-situ substrate poling. By 2016, he transitioned to Staff Scientist, overseeing the Magnetic Engineering Research Facility. This facility features a custom 14-target ultrahigh vacuum thin film sputtering tool and associated magnetic characterization labs.
Dr. Gopman is a founding organizer of the US Government Working Group on Magnetic Tunnel Junction technologies, a member of the international MRAM Technology Group and a member of the IEEE Magnetics Society (where he is the Chapter Chair for the DC-Metro Area and Vice Chair of the Magnetics Society Standards Committee).
