[2] Additionally, Fultz oversaw the construction of the wide angular-range chopper spectrometer (ARCS) instrument at the Spallation Neutron Source[3] and has made advances in phonon measuring techniques.

[7] His early career was marked by his designation as a Presidential Young Investigator and his receipt of the IBM Faculty Development Award and a Jacob Wallenberg Scholarship.

In collaboration with his colleague, Prof. J. Howe from the University of Virginia, Fultz produced an advanced textbook on the subject of material diffraction and microscopy, which has now seen four editions in English and one in Russian, with a Chinese translation in progress.

[12] Brent Fultz's research delves into understanding the behavior of atoms within solids, particularly how their vibrations, or phonons, influence the entropy and free energy of materials.

[14] Modern computational methods, specifically density functional theory, play a key role in Fultz's research on phonons and electrons in solids.

[15] In addition, they use high-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering to examine how vibrational thermodynamics change under high pressures, as might be experienced in a diamond anvil cell.

Furthermore, they are exploring the potential of using nuclear resonant scattering to study atomic distortions in materials as an electron moves between adjacent ions under pressure.
