Professor John B. Goodenough, Cockrell School of Engineering, University of Texas at Austin.
The tremendous contributions John B. Goodenough has made to the chemistry, physics and engineering of transition metals oxides are considered the modern foundation for our understanding of the magnetic, electronic and ionic behavior in this important class of materials.
Beyond his deep scientific insights, Professor Goodenough's work has to led to a series of revolutionary technological advances that range from developing some of the earliest solid-state magnetic computer memories to the discovery of the first practical metal oxide cathode materials, lithium cobalt oxide. Lithium ion battery systems are now ubiquitous as they have transformed portable power and are reshaping transportation and large scale electrical storage.
