Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory


Dr. Teague is Chief of the Manufacturing Metrology Division in the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

At NIST since 1972, Dr. Teague has designed, constructed, and used precision instrumentation for ultra-high accuracy dimensional metrology of surfaces and micrometer to nanometer-scale features. Beginning with his metal-vacuum-metal tunneling work in the 1970's, he continued to work with such precision instrumentation as scanning tunneling microscopes, atomic force microscopes, displacement and phase-measuring interferometry, stylus instruments, flexure stages, and light scattering apparatus. Because the laboratory and building environments were always factors in the ultimate performance of these instruments, the subject of this workshop has been an ongoing topic of great interest.

Dr. Teague is a member of the American Society for Precision Engineering, has served twice as the Society's President, and is a fellow of the UK Institute of Physics. He served as Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Nanotechnology for ten years and is currently a member of the Editorial Board of the journal. He holds a B.S. and M.S. in physics from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a PhD in physics from the University of North Texas. He has authored or coauthored 70 papers, has presented 50 invited talks in the technical fields described, and jointly with colleagues, has six patents. Dr. Teague has received the Gold Medal, Silver Medal, and Allen V. Astin Measurement Science Award from the Department of Commerce, the Kilby International Award by the Kilby Awards Foundation, and an IR-100 Industrial Research and Development Award for his work.

Naval Research Laboratory
Head, Chemistry Division


Dr. James S. Murday received a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Case Western Reserve in 1964, and a Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from Cornell in 1970. He joined the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in 1970, led the Surface Chemistry effort from 1975-1987, and has been Superintendent of its Chemistry Division since 1988. From May to August 1997 he served as Acting Director of Research for the Department of Defense, Research and Engineering. He is a member of the American Physical Society, the American Chemical Society and the Materials Research Society; and a fellow of the American Vacuum Society (AVS), and the UK Institute of Physics. For the AVS, he has served as trustee for 1981-1984, director for 1986-1988, representative to the American Institute of Physics Governing Board 1986-1992, president for 1991-93, and representative to the Federation of Materials Societies 1998-present.

His research interest in nanoscience began in 1983 as an Office of Naval Research program officer and continues through the NRL Nanoscience Institute. He has organized numerous International STM/NANO conferences and their proceedings. Under his direction, both the AVS and the International Union for Vacuum Science, Technology and Applications created a Nanometer Science/Technology Division. He is Executive Secretary to the U.S. National Science and Technology Council's Subcommittee on Nanoscale Science Engineering and Technology (NSET) and Director of the National Nanotechnology Coordinating Office.

HDR Architecture, Inc.
Principal, Senior Vice President


Ahmad Soueid is a Principal / Senior Vice President of HDR Architecture, Inc. He joined HDR over twelve years ago as a registered architect after working for architectural firms in New York, Connecticut and Texas. He focuses exclusively on the design and construction of advanced technology facilities for both private and public sector clients.

Ahmad Soueid is a registered architect that offers creative solutions to technically challenging nanotechnology facilities. Mr. Soueid is a leader in the design of nanotechnology facilities and he serves as a hands-on Principal for a prestigious list of nanotechnology projects such as the NIST Advanced Measurement Laboratory, a 511,070 square feet $175M state-of-the-art laboratory; Purdue University's $47M Birck Nanotechnology Center as well as Brookhaven National Laboratory's $28M Center for Functional Nanomaterials.

Mr. Soueid also consulted as a nanotechnology facilities advisor to Mexico's Centro Nacional de Metrología as well as the U.K.'s National Physical Laboratory. Mr. Soueid was co-chairman of the Buildings for Advanced Technology Workshop (January 2003) organized in part under the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) in conjunction with NIST and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) as well as the Buildings for Advanced Technology Workshop II (January 2004), sponsored by Arizona State University.

Mr. Soueid's is a frequent speaker at technical conferences. Mr. Soueid's presentation on the "Technical Challenges of designing Bio-Nano spaces in a Cleanroom environment" was a featured case study at a recent Tradeline Conference on Nanotechnology facilities. Other presentations include a variety of topics, including "High Accuracy Temperature Control in Metrology Laboratories" at the Quality Manufacturing 2000 Conference in Birmingham, United Kingdom, and a presentation at the "New Trends in Metrology Workshop" the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, United Kingdom as well as "A Case Study for Designing for Nanotechnology" to the Ottawa Valley Chapter of ASHRAE in Canada.

Mr. Soueid graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington where he received both a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and a Master of Architecture degree.

Vice President, Technology Development

Mr. Amick received a Bachelor of Science in Civil and Architectural Engineering from the University of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyoming, a Master of Science. in Structural Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, California and a Master of Engineering. In Civil Engineering from the University of California in Berkeley, California. Mr. Amick works on problems related to structural and soil dynamics, rail and transportation vibrations, mechanical vibrations, and community or workplace vibrations. He is experienced in signals processing, finite element modeling and many aspects of structural and soil dynamics. Hal Amick has worked extensively in the design of low vibration environments for advanced technology facilities.

Hal Amick joined Colin Gordon & Associates in 1996, after spending eleven years with Bolt Beranek & Newman and Acentech. Prior to 1990, he worked closely with Colin Gordon at BBN. At Colin Gordon & Associates he focuses on the design and maintenance of low-vibration environments for vibration-sensitive facilities used for research, development and production of microelectronics as well as those used for nanotechnology, optics research, advanced physics and bioscience studies. His early consulting work involved a wide variety of structural settings, including nuclear power plant seismic analysis, container crane design, and structural failure analysis. Since 1993 he has served as vibration consultant for design and renovation of laboratories at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
