Dickerson and Andrew Hess as well as current Detroit Pistons wing Isaiah Livers who all found success under his watch.
Professional Career
Fred Spada has made significant strides in research on magnetic materials and their applications, particularly bulk degaussing methods for safely wiping data off storage media, structure-property relationships in thin film magnetic materials as well as particulate magnetic materials, chemical aspects of wear analysis and corrosion mitigation, among other topics.
He currently teaches courses on advanced materials and magnetics at the University of California San Diego, publishing multiple scientific journal articles and presenting at national and international conferences.
At the time of the 1940 US Census, he lived in Union City with his mother and two siblings. He belonged to Methodist religion as his faith. Additionally, he belonged to both American Physical Society and Association of Physical Scientists organizations.
