James Michael Tiedje (born 1942) is University Distinguished Professor and the director of the
Crop and Soil Sciences and Microbiology. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2003 and served as president of the American Society for Microbiology from 2004 to 2005.[2][3] The Center he directed developed novel methods for microbial community analysis that have greatly expanded knowledge about complex microbial communities in soil, sediments, engineered systems, the oceans and within animals. He also created experiments to detect life on Mars
that were carried aboard the Viking Mars landers.
He received a B.S. degree (1964) from Iowa State University and earned his M.S. (1966) and Ph.D. (1968) degrees from Cornell University.[4][5]
