Professor Katharine Page is a faculty member in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, with a joint appointment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Neutron Scattering Division. Her research focuses on uncovering new insights into complex functional materials through structural characterization using neutron and X-ray scattering.
- PhD in Chemistry, University of California, Santa Barbara
Her work spans the study of ferroelectric oxides, energy conversion materials, and nanoscale catalysts, with a strong emphasis on understanding local atomic structures and their impact on material properties. She has secured prestigious awards, including the 2019 Presidential Early Career Award and the 2015 DOE Early Career Research Program Award.
Recent publications highlight her contributions to high-entropy materials, triple-conducting oxides, and advanced catalyst design. Her research group actively mentors students like Alex Carter and Sreya Paladugu, with projects involving material synthesis, neutron scattering analysis, and energy applications.
