Biography

John B. Goodenough is a Professor of Materials Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. After returning from World War II, he received a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Chicago in 1952, was a Group Leader of The MIT Lincoln Laboratory from 1952-1976 where he helped to develop the magnetic memory element of the first RAM of the digital computer and engaged in fundamental studies of transition-metal oxides. From 1976-1986, he was Professor and Head of the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory of the University of Oxford, England, where he developed the cathodes that have enabled the Li-ion battery, and since 1986 he has held the Virginia H. Cockrell Centennial Chair of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin where he has continued development of the rechargeable battery, catalytic electrodes for the solid oxide fuel cell, and the use of high pressure to study the transition from localized to itinerant d electrons in transition-metal oxides.
