Dr. Amanda K. Petford Long is a Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Northwestern University and serves as Director of the Materials Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. She leads the Argonne Microelectronics Institute and was formerly director of the Center for Nanoscale Materials (2010–2014), a U.S. Department of Energy national user facility.
- Doctor of Philosophy (D.Phil) in Materials Science, University of Oxford (1985)
- Bachelor’s Degree in Physics, University College London (1981)
Her research focuses on understanding how microstructure and composition influence the magnetic, transport, and optical properties of layered ferroic films and nanostructures. She specializes in in situ transmission electron microscopy techniques, including Lorentz microscopy, to study nanomaterials' physical properties.
She has published over 360 scientific papers and is recognized for her leadership in materials science through fellowships in prestigious societies: Royal Academy of Engineering, Materials Research Society, American Physical Society, and Royal Microscopical Society. She also contributes to graduate education at Northwestern University.
- Argonne Distinguished Fellow
