A researcher in materials for the <thermoelectric effect> who coauthored a review with <G. Jeffrey Snyder>. Their account explains the competing requirements for a high <thermoelectric figure of merit>: useful electrical transport must coexist with weak heat transport. Complex crystal structures and nanoscale design offer ways to suppress the <phonon> contribution to <thermal conductivity> while retaining useful electronic behavior.<Complex thermoelectric materials by G. Jeffrey Snyder and Eric S. Toberer>[Abstract and Figs. 1–3: conflicting transport requirements and structural design]{ref}
