Distinctions

Dr. Robert L. Snyder is a Professor and Chair of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his B.A. in Chemistry from Marist College and his Ph.D. from Fordham University in 1968. He entered the field of materials through his Ph.D. research and continued it as a postdoc at the University of Pittsburgh and NASA. Dr. Snyder began teaching at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 1970 and rose through the academic ranks to Professor of Ceramic Science in 1982. He chaired the MSE Department at Ohio State from 1996 through 2002. He has enjoyed extended leaves at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (1977), National Bureau of Standards (1980, 1981), Sandia National Lab (1987), Siemens Central Research Labs Munich (1983, 1991) and the Université de Rennes (1995). Dr. Snyder is a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society, the American Society of Metals and a Distinguished Fellow of the International Center for Diffraction Data where he has served in a number of capacities, most recently as Chairman of the Board of Directors. He is a Principal Editor for the Journal Materials Research and the Journal of the American Ceramic Society. Dr. Snyder serves on the organizing committees of a number of international conferences and Chairs the annual Denver X-ray Conference. He has been named the American Ceramic Society Outstanding Educator and has received the State University of New York Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching and the 2002 TMS Award for Materials Leadership as well as the 2008 TMS Educator Award.     He is the author of two textbooks, has edited nine technical books and has contributed chapters to nine books and encyclopedias. He holds eight patents and has published over 265 papers on materials and materials characterization which have been cited by other authors more than 2000 times. Dr. Snyder has presented over 1,000 talks around the world with over forty plenary and keynote lectures.

Research Interests

  • Synthesis, structural and property characterization of nano and bio-enabled
    materials

While still maintaining an active interest in materials characterization using X-rays, the active systems of study today involve bio-inspired approaches to manufacturing and synthesis; nano -materials and the effect of surface free energy on materials properties in magnetic, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, semiconducting, superconducting, optoelectronic and phononic materials. Examples of current research involve approaches to the fabrication of barium hexaferrite nano-structures, characterization of the kinetics and dynamics of incongruent reduction reactions to produce useful nanomachines, analysis of the defect types and densities in nano-devices.
