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.[ref]
