David F. Edwards (born March 2, 1928 in Ironton , Ohio ) is an American physicist who deals with solid-state physics.
Edwards studied at Miami University in Ohio (Bachelor 1949) and the University of Cincinnati , where he received his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1953. He then worked as a solid-state physicist at the Batelle Memorial Institute until 1955 and at the Willow Run Laboratory of the University of Michigan from 1955 to 1961 . From 1961 to 1965 he was a scientist at the Lincoln Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . In 1965 he became a physics professor (from 1969 also for electrical engineering) at Colorado State University . In 1974 he moved to Los Alamos National Laboratory and in 1982 to Hewlett-Packard (as Senior Scientist). From 1983 he was group leader (and 1986 to 1990 as chief scientist) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory . 1970/71 he was visiting professor at the State University of Rio Grande do Sul and 1975/76 visiting scholar at the Lebedev Institute .
In 1990 he received the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize .
He should not be confused with the British theoretical solid-state physicist David M. Edwards .
