Assistant Professor
Energy Materials Program
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
West Virginia University
Dr. Edward M. Sabolsky joined West Virginia University (WVU) as an Assistant Professor in August 2008. Before joining WVU, Dr. Sabolsky was a Senior Research Scientist within the Fine Ceramics and Igniter R&D Group at Saint-Gobain High-Performance R&D Center. He 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. In 2001, he joined NexTech Materials, Ltd. (NexTech) as a research scientist. He assumed the position of Fuel Cell Group Leader at NexTech in 2006, where he managed the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) research group.
Dr. Sabolsky's research focuses on the development of piezoelectric/dielectric materials, chemical sensors, reforming catalyst, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), and ceramic separation membranes. This research includes the synthesis of complex oxide ceramic powders and nano-powders, fabrication of novel ceramic monolithic structures at the macro- to micro-levels, and manipulation of grain structure (and grain orientation) to improve performance. Dr. Sabolsky has been involved with many research efforts related to MEMs, SOFCs/SOECs, piezoelectrics, ceramic dielectrics, chemical sensors, and reforming catalyst. He is an active reviewer for Journal of the American Society, Journal of Materials Science, Materials Letters, Journal of Electroceramics, Applied Physics Letters, and IEEE-Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control. Dr. Sabolsky has authored more than twenty papers in technical literature and has received two patents.
