Dilano Saldin

Dilano Saldin was an American physicist, specializing in condensed matter. He worked as a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for 32 years. From 2000-2008 Saldin served as physics department chair at University Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Early life and education

Saldin completed his Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford in 1975. His dissertation was completed in Some Applications of Theory of Electron Diffraction Contrast. Following his studies, he worked at University of Oxford as a post-doctoral researcher in the Materials and Engineering departments. He left Oxford to work at the Imperial College London in the Physics department.

Career

Saldin’s research focused on X-ray diffraction, fluorescence imaging, cell imaging, and nanomaterials. He authored approximately 195 publications at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He used a technique referred to as 'ghost imaging'. Ghost imaging is a process that develops images of objects by combining information from light collected at two detectors. The process has been shown in the X-ray machine. Ghost imaging works with less photons, but still can generate high-quality images of the object. The process has the potential to be useful in the medical field, improving the efficiency of X-rays.

Awards and recognition

Saldin was also a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Holds two United States Patents in atomic imaging.

Death

Saldin died due to a long-term illness on March 9, 2020. He is outlived by his children and wife.
