معرفی
Peter A. Crozier is a Professor and Graduate Program Chair in Materials Science and Engineering at Arizona State University’s School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy. He specializes in advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, particularly for studying catalytic materials, electroceramics, and atmospheric aerosols related to energy and environmental applications.
Education: Ph.D. in Materials Science, University of Glasgow (1985).
Research Interests: His work focuses on in situ and operando TEM to investigate nanoscale dynamics in catalytic systems, including surface reactivity, oxygen exchange in ceria-based materials, and light-induced phenomena. He also develops AI-driven methods to enhance TEM data analysis.
Publications: Over 150 archival articles and 200 conference papers, emphasizing atomic-resolution observations of nanoparticle behavior, vibrational EELS, and photocatalytic material characterization. Recent trends include applying AI to denoise TEM images and model nanoscale dynamics.
Awards: Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America (MSA), Treasurer of MSA, and editor for Microscopy and Microscopy Today.
Grants & Service: Lead investigator on NSF/DOE projects totaling millions, including in situ nanocharacterization for solar fuels and ceria electrolytes. Serves on review panels, editorial boards, and organizes international workshops like the EDGE meetings.
Labs & Teams: Directs the Crozier Research Group, which combines TEM, spectroscopy, and AI to study atomic-level material dynamics under real-world conditions. Key tools include aberration-corrected ETEM and light-illumination TEM systems.
