Karren L. More

Karren L. More is an American materials scientist who is the Director of the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Her research considers advanced electron microscopy as a probe to understand the structure and chemistry of emerging materials. More is a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society and Microscopy Society of America.

Early life and education More earned her undergraduate degree and doctorate at North Carolina State University, where she worked under the supervision of Robert F. Davis. Her undergraduate course focused on civil engineering. She was the first person in her family to attend college, and became interested in what materials looked like at the nanoscale. She started working at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a visiting researcher.

In 2013, More was made group leader of the Electron & Atom Probe Microscopy Group, which she led for several years. In 2019, she was named Director of the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences. 2010 R&D 100 Award Team Member 2013 DOE Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Program Research & Development Award 2019 Elected Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America
