Brent Fultz

Barbara and Stanley R. Rawn, Jr., Professor of Materials Science and Applied Physics
B.Sc., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975; M.Sc., University of California, 1978; Ph.D., 1982. Assistant Professor, Caltech, 1985-90; Associate Professor, 1990-97; Professor of Materials Science, 1997-2002; Professor of Materials Science and Applied Physics, 2003-13; Rawn Professor, 2013-.

Research interests: materials physics and materials chemistry

Overview

Professor Fultz focuses on materials physics and materials chemistry, presently with two emphases. One is on the origin of entropy, as studied by neutron scattering and computation. This has expanded to other thermophysical properties. The second is on new materials for energy storage, especially H-storage materials.
