Prof. Takeuchi is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and an Affiliate Professor of Physics at the University of Maryland. He is the head of the Combinatorial Synthesis Lab at the University of Maryland. A major focus of his combinatorial exploration and optimization is magnetic and multiferroic materials. He has previously utilized the combinatorial strategy to discover new compositions of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, magnetostrictive materials, piezoelectric materials, permanent magnets, etc. His research interests also include multilayer thin film devices and scanning probe microscopy. He won the Invention of the Year Award at the University of Maryland in 2010 for a novel solid state cooling technology. Takeuchi is an APS Fellow.
