Saeed Almishal

Saeed Almishal is a Research Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Pennsylvania State University's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. His research focuses on the thermodynamics, synthesis, and functional properties of advanced materials like high entropy oxides (HEOs) and disordered ceramics, with applications in electronic and structural materials.

• Education
  • Dual BSc in Mechanical Engineering (The British University in Egypt & London South Bank University, 2019)
  • MSc in Mechanical Engineering (Computational Materials Science, Penn State Harrisburg, 2021)
  • PhD in Materials Science and Engineering (Penn State, 2024)
• Research Leadership
  • Leads ceramic processing initiatives
  • Key member of Penn State MRSEC IRG2

His work explores the interplay between crystalline disorder and material functionality, particularly in transport properties, electronic behavior, and magnetism of complex oxides. He mentors undergraduate researchers including Matthew Furst, Dhiya Srikanth, Joe Petruska, and Kaylin Lamaute.
