Susan Trolier-McKinstry is a professor of ceramic science and engineering and professor of electric engineering at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State). She is also director of the nanofabrication facility and co-director of the Center for Dielectric and Piezoelectric Studies. She received her PhD degree in ceramic science from Penn State in 1992 and has been a member of the faculty since then. She greatly enjoys working with students and has mentored more than 50 graduate students. Her research group has authored more than 350 papers and holds numerous patents. Group research spans probing the fundamental mechanisms that contribute to the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of thin films, to processing studies on the deposition and patterning of complex oxides, to integration of functional films into micro-electromechanical systems. She is an associate editor of Applied Physics Letters; a Fellow of MRS, IEEE, and The American Ceramic Society; and an academician in the World Academy of Ceramics. She has previously served as th
