Prof. G.Jeffrey Snyder from Northwestern University, USA, visited Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter (FJIRSM) and delivered a seminar report entitled “Engineering Electronic Properties of Thermoelectric Semiconductors” on November 14, 2023.  

G. Jeffrey Snyder is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University. His interests are focused on engineering of electronic and thermal properties and he is well known for his work on thermoelectric materials. He has developed new methods of electron band structure engineering and microstructure engineering of thermal and electrical properties of complex materials. His interdisciplinary approach stems from his background in Solid State Chemistry at Cornell University and the Max Planck Institute for solid state research, Applied Physics at Stanford University and thermoelectric materials & device engineering at NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory and California Institute of Technology (Caltech).
