Robert D. Shull
National Institute of Standards and Technology
Functional Materials Division
|
Robert D. Shull received an S.B. in Materials Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1968, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in the same field from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1973 and 1976 respectively. He subsequently joined the National Bureau of Standards in 1979 (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology—NIST) after a three-year postdoctoral fellowship at Caltech. His Ph.D. thesis work, in which he discovered the "reversed Curie temperature" phenomenon in Fe70Al30, was instrumental in his more recent discovery of "Spin Density Waves" (a phenomenon which had been predicted 40 years ago to exist, but never found) in the same alloy system. He was the first to explain the novel "attractive levitation" found in some high Tc materials, made the first laser-ablated high Tc superconducting film, discovered the enhanced magnetocaloric effect in nanocomposites, and was the first to show non-symmetric behavior during magnetic reversal in nanocomposite systems.
Shull has authored and co-authored more than 190 publications and presented more than 300 invited talks. He was a founding member of the Office of Science and Technology Policy subcommittee on Nanoscale Science, Engineering and Technology (NSET), the group which drafted the original National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) in 2001. Shull was chair of the International Committee on Nanostructured Materials from 1999 to 2001, president of the NIST Chapter of Sigma-Xi from 1996 to 1997, and the 2007 president of TMS. He is one of 35 NIST Fellows, a Fellow of IEEE, a Fellow of TMS, the 2009 recipient of the SPIE Nanoengineering Pioneeer Award, and the recipient of two NIST EEO awards. Shull is also the son of Clifford G. Shull, the 1994 winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
In addition, Shull has led a 20-week Saturday-morning science program in the Maryland area for pre-high school children for the past 30 years and started a summer internship program in materials science at NIST 18 years ago, which has now expanded to over 180 students from all over the United States each year.

He has peer reviewed more than 100 papers for a variety of materials journals, especially in his role as Key Reader for Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A. He is a regular attendee at the TMS Annual Meeting, MS&T, and specialty conferences in thermodynamics and physical metallurgy/phase transformations. Hackenberg has collaborations with the Advanced Steel Processing and Products Research Center at the Colorado School of Mines, the National Center for Metallurgical Research (CENIM-CSIC, Madrid), and Texas A&M University. He is the author of 67 publications.
Hackenberg’s main research interest is in the thermodynamic and kinetic fundamentals of diffusional phase transformations in a variety of inorganic materials. More recently, he has explored the historical roots of materials science, especially through the evolution of phase transformations understanding in steels, 1880-1970. A related interest involves the roles played in the scientific process by institutions, schools of thought, and academic genealogies.
Hackenberg has a currently-developing interest in workflow tools relevant to Materials Genome-type research, specifically: analysis and visualization methods that can handle heterogeneous data sets common to MSE studies (micrographs, numbers, text). Such tools would enable materials experts to more easily grasp the breadth and depth of microstructure-aware and process-pathcritical materials information, resulting in more rigorous critical comparisons between theory and experiment, and improved insight into materials behavior more broadly.
