Rate My Professor Amit Goyal

Goyal earned his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Rochester in 1991, MS in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the same institution in 1988, B.Tech in Metallurgical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology in 1996, Executive MBA from Purdue University, and International Executive MBA from Tilburg University. His research focuses on heteroepitaxial growth of functional materials and devices, strain-driven self-assembly of advanced materials, advanced energy and electronic materials, and clean energy technologies, including high-performance superconducting wires, photovoltaics, flexible electronics, nanomaterials, and plastics recycling. With over 350 publications and more than 85 patents, he was ranked the most cited author worldwide in high-temperature superconductivity from 1999 to 2009. Goyal's achievements include election to the National Academy of Engineering in 2018 for advances enabling commercialization of high-temperature superconductor wires, Foreign Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, India in 2025, DOE E.O. Lawrence Award in Energy Science and Innovation in 2011, R&D Magazine Innovator of the Year in 2010, World Technology Award in Advanced Materials in 2012, ten R&D 100 Awards, and fellowships in AAAS, IEEE, MRS, APS, and others. He serves as associate editor-in-chief of The Bridge, the National Academy of Engineering's journal, and on the National Materials and Manufacturing Board.
