Peter A. Crozier is a professor and graduate program chair in materials science and engineering with the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy at Arizona State University. He has extensive experience in developing and applying advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques to problems related to energy and the environment with special emphasis on electroceramics, catalytic materials and atmospheric aerosols.
Crozier has 20 years of experience in developing and applying the technique of advanced transmission electron microscopy to problems in catalytic materials and oxide electrolytes. He is also applying electron energy-loss spectroscopy to determine the optical and vibrational properties of materials. He is a member of the Microscopy Society of America, the Materials Research Society, the North American Catalysis Society and the American Ceramics Society. He serves on the editorial boards of Micron and Microscopy Today. He currently serves as treasurer of the Microscopy Society of America. He is a fellow of the Microscopy Society of America. He is currently director of the ASU school on High Resolution Electron Microscopy. He has organized numerous workshops, schools and symposia and is currently scientific co-chair of the EDGE meetings. He has published more than 150 archival journal and book articles as well as more than 200 conference articles.
