236 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine SCIENCES, PHARMACEUTICALS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY While studying toward his undergraduate degree at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Robert Stephen Carbonara worked part-time at the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research (now merged with Carnegie Mellon University), where he served under the tutelage of Dr. Thaddeus Massalski. Dr. Massalski encouraged Dr. Carbonara to delve into the field of materials science. After earning his BS in physics from the University of Pittsburgh in 1959, he enrolled in the University of Cincinnati, where he was a NASA trainee in 1964. From there, he joined the Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus in 1968, serving as a research scientist until 1977. During this time, Dr. Carbonara obtained a PhD in materials science from the University of Cincinnati in 1970. Dr. Carbonara remained at Battelle Memorial Institute until 1988, where he was an associate manager for 11 years. From 1988 to 1998, he excelled as a group manager for S.E.A., Inc., in Columbus.

Alongside his primary endeavors, Dr. Carbonara was also a consultant for the Battelle Development Corporation from 1983 to 1987 and contributed civically to the American Heart Association as chairman of the Ohio Valley board of directors from 1980 to 1998. Holding several patents in the field, Dr. Carbonara presents frequently within his areas of expertise and served as the editor for “Surface Analysis Techniques” in 1976. He has further sat on the editorial review boards of the Journal of Materials Engineering and the Journal of Materials Shaping Technology. A former chapter chairman of ASM International in 1981, Dr. Carbonara has also maintained affiliation with Phi Eta Sigma and Phi Lambda Upsilon. He attributes his immense success to his unconventional thinking processes and notes that unconventional thinking may be the key to solving difficult, complex problems. For his success, Dr. Carbonara received the President’s Award from ASM International and the Battelle Intellectual Achievement Award. Looking toward the future, he intends to ease into retirement.
