معرفی
Takeshi Egami is a UT-ORNL Distinguished Scientist/Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, within the Tickle College of Engineering. He specializes in neutron and x-ray scattering, metallic glasses, and superconducting electronic oxides. Egami holds a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania (1971) and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Tokyo (1968). He served as Chair of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UPenn from 1997–2002 and directed the UT-ORNL Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences (2008–2015). His research focuses on structural analysis of complex materials, medium-range order in liquids, and the dynamics of amorphous solids.
His awards include the 2010 J. D. Hanawalt Award, Senior Researcher Prize (2006), and Bertram Eugene Warren Diffraction Physics Award (2003). Egami has authored over 550 publications and serves on editorial boards for journals like Advances in Physics and Physical Review Letters. His work bridges experimental scattering techniques with theoretical models to understand material behavior at atomic scales, with applications to energy storage, superconductivity, and advanced alloy design.
