Biography
Paul Wynblatt is currently Emeritus Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Manchester in the UK in 1956, a master's degree from the Technion in Israel in 1958, and a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley 1966. In 1987, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Aix-Marseille in France. His past professional activities include employment with the Israel Atomic Energy Commission (1958-62), and Ford Motor Company (1966-81). From 1981 to 2004 he was Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, where he also held appointments as Director of the Center for Materials Research (1985-88), Associate Dean of Engineering (1989-91), and Head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (1991-95).
Research Interests
Paul Wynblatt's research has focused on Interfacial phenomena. His research has employed experimental, computer simulation, as well as analytical modeling approaches. His interests include segregation at surfaces, solid-solid interphase boundaries, and grain boundaries; Ostwald ripening; thermal stability of thin films; wetting behavior, including wetting transitions in liquid alloys, grain boundary wetting, and solid state wetting phenomena; equilibrium crystal shapes in pure metals and alloys; surface diffusion; and melting of nano-crystals.
