Nominator's project description

Professor Snyder is world-renowned for his outstanding research in thermoelectric materials and related fields. His seminal theoretical advances have played a pivotal role in tackling thermoelectric challenges such as designing complex microstructures, band engineering, and weighted mobility. During his research stay in Germany, he plans to collaborate with experimentalists to create advanced models to elucidate transport behavior across grain boundaries.
