Peter A. Crozier

Peter A. Crozier is a Professor at the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, Arizona State University, with expertise in advanced transmission electron microscopy and catalytic materials. His research spans energy science, environmental materials, and atomic-scale dynamics.

• Education: Ph.D. from University of Glasgow (1985)

His work focuses on electron energy-loss spectroscopy, in situ nanocharacterization, and operando TEM for energy and environmental applications. Key areas include electroceramics, catalytic materials, and atmospheric aerosols.

Recent publications highlight nanoscale interface studies, vibrational spectroscopy, and redox dynamics in ceria. Grants from NSF, DOE, and NASA support his work in high-resolution microscopy and energy materials.

Scientific contributions recognized through:

• Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America
• Treasurer of the Microscopy Society of America

He leads the ASU School on High Resolution Electron Microscopy and has organized major conferences including the EDGE meetings and Microscopy Society of America symposia. His lab combines artificial intelligence with electron microscopy to reveal atomic-level material dynamics.
