Amit Goyal received a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from the University of Rochester, New York, in 1991; an M.S. in mechanical and aerospace engineering from the University of Rochester in 1988; and a bachelor of technology in metallurgical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, in 1986. He joined ORNL in 1991.

Dr. Goyal’s pioneering research has had a profound impact on the field of high-temperature superconductivity, both in fundamental materials science and in the transition of scientific discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace. His �鶹Ӱ��s have provided elegant solutions to achieving essentially single-crystal-like behavior in long lengths of superconducting material with techniques that are industrially scalable and cost-effective and to creating self-assembled, nanoscale defects within superconductors, which dramatically enhance their properties. A unique characteristic of his research is that he has worked at the intersection of science and technology. Many aspects of his work are very fundamental in nature, yet many are very applied. He is widely regarded as an international leader in the fields of high-temperature superconducting materials, texture development in materials, and electron backscatter diffraction.

He has published more than 350 technical publications, including more than 30 invited book chapters and papers, and has co-edited 6 books. He has given more than 15 plenary talks and more than 150 invited presentations at national and international conferences. He has 80 issued patents, the most of any researcher at ORNL. A recent analysis of citations and papers published worldwide in the last decade in the field of high-temperature superconductivity, between 1999 and 2009, conducted by Thompson-Reuters’s Essential Science Indicators, ranks him as the most cited author worldwide.

He is a Battelle Distinguished Inventor and a fellow of eight professional societies: the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS), the Materials Research Society (MRS), the American Physical Society (APS), the World Innovation Foundation (WIF), the American Society of Metals (ASM), the Institute of Physics (IOP), the American Ceramic Society (ACERS), and the World Technology Network (WTN).
