| Research Interests |
| Paul Wynblatt's research has focused
on Interfacial phenomena. His research has
employed experimental, computer simulation,
as well as analytical modeling approaches.
His interests include segregation at surfaces,
solid-solid interphase boundaries, and grain
boundaries; Ostwald ripening; thermal stability
of thin films; wetting behavior, including
wetting transitions in liquid alloys, grain
boundary wetting, and solid state wetting
phenomena; equilibrium crystal shapes in
pure metals and alloys; surface diffusion;
and melting of nano-crystals. |
| Biography |
| Paul Wynblatt is currently Emeritus Professor
of Materials Science and Engineering at Carnegie
Mellon University. He received a bachelor's
degree from the University of Manchester in
the UK in 1956, a master's degree from the
Technion in Israel in 1958, and a Ph.D. from
the University of California at Berkeley 1966.
In 1987, he was awarded an honorary doctorate
from the University of Aix-Marseille in France.
His past professional activities include employment
with the Israel Atomic Energy Commission (1958-62),
and Ford Motor Company (1966-81). From 1981
to 2004 he was Professor of Materials Science
and Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University,
where he has also held appointments as Director
of the Center for Materials Research (1985-88),
Associate Dean of Engineering (1989-91), and
Head of the Department of Materials Science
and Engineering (1991-95). |
