Dr. Amit Goyal is a UT-Battelle Corporate Fellow,^[1] a Battelle Distinguished Inventor and an ORNL Distinguished Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratories in Tennessee. He is also the chair of the UT-Battelle-ORNL Corporate Fellow Council. He is one of the leading scientists world-wide in the field of advanced electronic and energy materials including High Temperature Superconductors. He has 70 issued patents.^[2] He also has over 350 publications. A recent analysis of citations and papers published world-wide in the last decade in the field of high-temperature superconductivity, between 1999–2009, conducted by Thompson Reuters Essential Science Indicators (ESI), ranks him as the most cited author worldwide. ^[3]

Education

He did his schooling at Mayo College^[4],^[5] in Rajasthan, India. He received the degree of Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) Honors degree in Metallurgical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 1986.^[6] He completed his M.S. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the University of Rochester in 1988. He completed his Ph.D. in Material Science and Engineering from the same institute in 1991. He has received Executive Business training from the Krannert Business School at Purdue University^[7] and the MIT Sloan School of Management.

The University of Rochester, New York, awarded him a Distinguished Scholar Medal and the Indian Institute of Technology awarded him the Distinguished Alumnus Award.

Career

He joined the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1991. He works in the field of low-cost, large-area, high-performance, flexible electronic devices including superconductors, photovoltaics, etc. His research has proved pivotal in the development of single crystal like behaviour in long lengths of superconducting materials. He has contributed immensely in the development of wires that allow high-temperature superconductors allow very high performance to be obtained in a cost-effective manner. High-temperature superconductors find applications in numerous areas such as transformers, generators, motors, magnets, underground transmission cables and fault current limiters. Widely accepted as the leading researcher in the field of high-temperature superconductors, his main aim is to enable large scale production and application of high-temperature superconductors.

A culminating achievement of his career was his selection as the winner of the 2011 E. O. Lawrence Award in the inaugural category of "Energy Science and Innovation". He was also invited to give a lecture associated with this award at USDOE. His talk can be viewed on YouTube at - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S89fVk5HXLs&feature.

The E. O. Lawrence Award is a prestigious award given by the given by the United States Department of Energy on behalf of the President of the United States and is officially awarded by the US DOE Energy Secretary. It consists of a certificate^[8], a gold medal and a cash prize of $20,000.00. The award is for meritorious contributions to the development, use or control of atomic energy and was established pursuant to the US Atomic Energy Act of 1954. Dr. Goyal's awards cites his "pioneering research and transformative contributions to the field of applied high temperature superconductivity, including fundamental materials science advances and technical innovations enabling large-scale applications of these novel materials".

Awards and Honours

He has received numerous internal and external, national & international awards of excellence including:
