The committee cited Cleland, an ASTM International member since 1986, for his sustained and exceptional contributions to the development and use of nuclear-related standards.

Cleland lives in Hauppauge, N.Y.

After he earned his Ph.D. in nuclear physics from Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., Cleland began his career as a physicist with the National Bureau of Standards.
