Peter R. Buseck (born September 30, 1935) is a Regents Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences (SMS) at Arizona State University (ASU). He is a pioneering researcher in the application of transmission electron microscopy to mineralogy, meteoritics, fullerenes and atmospheric chemistry.[1] In 2019 Buseck was awarded the Roebling Medal, the highest award of the Mineralogical Society of America.[2] The scientific journal Nature recognized Buseck's 1978 paper[3] as a milestone in crystallography.[4][5]
