Aaldert Hendrik Wapstra (24 April 1922,
Utrecht – 2 December 2006,
Naarden ) was a Dutch
physicist renowned for his work on the
Atomic Mass Evaluation . He worked on the Atomic Mass Evaluation originally with
Josef Mattauch at the
Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and later on with his colleague Georges Audi at
Université de Paris-Sud . For this work he obtained the
SUNAMCO medal of the
International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) in September 2004.
Wapstra studied physics at
Utrecht University and obtained his PhD with the dissertation Decay schemes of Pb209, Bi207 and Bi214 and the binding energies of the heavy nuclei at the
University of Amsterdam in 1953.

[2] He became a full professor in 1955 at the department of experimental physics at the Technische Hogeschool, now the Technical University in Delft, Netherlands. On 18 March 1963 Wapstra entered the board of the IKO, now known as
NIKHEF , as the scientific director of nuclear
spectroscopy . He became the director in 1971, succeeding Van Lieshout, where he continued on until 1982. He retired in 1987.
