Education
Ph.D. Materials Science and Engineering, Pennsylvania State University, 2001
B.S. Ceramic Science and Engineering, Ohio State University, 1996
Dr. Edward M. Sabolsky received his B.S. in Ceramic Science and Engineering
with a minor in Metallurgical Engineering from The Ohio State University in 1996.
He completed his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at The Pennsylvania State
University in 2001. Dr. Sabolsky's work at Penn State focused on ceramic processing
and properties of high strain piezoelectric ceramics. Dr. Sabolsky joined NexTech
Materials, Ltd. (NexTech) in 2001 where he continued his work in ceramic powder synthesis,
forming, and thermal processing of piezoelectric/dielectric, sensor, catalyst, and
solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) materials. In 2006, Dr. Sabolsky assumed the position
of Fuel Cell Group Leader at NexTech, where he managed the SOFC research group. Dr.
Sabolsky joined the Fine Ceramics and Igniter R&D Group within the Saint-Gobain
High-Performance R&D Center in 2007 as a Senior Research Scientist. Dr. Sabolsky
assumed the position of Assistant Professor at West Virginia University in 2008 to
continue his work in advanced ceramic processing and materials for energy-related
applications.
