Bio
Dr. Takeshi Egami is UT-ORNL Distinguished Scientist/Professor of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Department of Physics and Astronomy, with join appointment at Materials Science and Technology Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He received his B. E. degree in Applied Physics from the University of Tokyo in 1968, and his Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of Pennsylvania in 1971. After the postdoctoral research at the University of Sussex in U.K. and Max-Planck-Institut für Metallforschung in Stuttgart, Germany, he returned to the University of Pennsylvania in 1973 as Assistant Professor. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1976, to Professor in 1980, and was Department Chair (1997-2002). In 2003 he moved to the current position. He was Director of UT-ORNL Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences (2008-2015). He is known for promoting the use of the PDF technique to the study of complex crystalline materials. He received 2003 B. E. Warren Award for Diffraction Physics from American Crystallography Association, 2010 J. D. Hanawalt Award from International Center for Diffraction Data, and other awards. Dr. Egami has published 1 book (Underneath the Bragg Peaks: Structural Analysis of Complex Materials, Elsevier, 2003, 2012), over 30 reviews and over 550 technical papers. He is Editor of Advances in Physics, and Associate Editor of Frontier in Physics.
Research Description
We study correlated dynamics of atoms and electrons by inelastic neutron/x-ray scattering presented in real space and time, providing new information on correlated quantum systems.
