David Haase Papers 1972-2016

David Glen Haase is professor emeritus of physics at North Carolina State University, where he was appointed a visiting assistant professor in 1975, a tenure track assistant professor in 1976, and Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor in 1989. He was the founding director of the university's Science House, which promotes hands-on learning for K-12 students in math and science. He has conducted several experiments, most involving polarized neutrons and cryogenic polarized nuclear targets, but also properties of quantum solids, alloys of solidified gases, and high temperature superconductors. Additionally, Haase served on several committees for the American Physical Society (APS) and advisory or local committees for various conferences.

David Glen Haase was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1948. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Physics and Math from Rice University in Texas in 1970, then earned a Master's and Ph.D. from Duke University in 1975. He began working at North Carolina State University's Department of Physics shortly after finishing his education, and remained throughout his career.

Dr. Haase has conducted several experiments, most involving polarized neutrons and cryogenic polarized nuclear targets, but also properties of quantum solids, alloys of solidified gases, and high temperature superconductors. He was the founding director of The Science House, which promotes hands-on learning for K-12 students in Math and Science. Additionally, Haase served on several committees for the American Physical Society (APS) and advisory or local committees for various conferences. He is responsible for over one hundred publications in journals and conference proceedings, and taught dozens of different courses for North Carolina State University's Physics Department.

David Haase was nameded 1990 Professor of the Year in the State of North Carolina by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, and received the Alexander Holladay Medal for Excellence in 1998, the Distinguished Service Award in 1999, the Pegram Medal for Excellence in Physics Education in 2001, and others.

The David Haase Papers are comprised chiefly of files created and accumulated throughout Haase's career teaching physics at North Carolina State University beginning in 1975. Also included are a few items from 1972 and 1974, when Haase was a graduate student at Duke University. The collection is divided into three series: Professional Activities, Research Notebooks, and Teaching Files.

Professional Activities Files include files from conferences, seminars, and organizations in which Dr. Haase was a member. Papers from the American Physical Society (APS) are included, as well as Haase's notes and visuals from various seminars. The Science House at North Carolina State University, a learning outreach project for K-12 students, is also represented in this series.

The Research Notebooks series is comprised of David Haase's laboratory notebooks, as well as those of some of his colleagues. Research with R. A. Orban, L. Yadon, and Abdelkarim Saleh is also included in these notebooks, which have been organized by the author's last name.

Teaching Files is the largest of the three series in this collection, and includes materials from throughout Dr. Haase's teaching career, organized by course number. Syllabi, teaching notes, resources, and exams make up the majority of this series' contents.

This collection is arranged into three series:

• 1. Professional Activies Files
• 2. Research Notebooks
• 3. Teaching Files
