He is a CINT Distinguished Affiliate Scientist at Sandia National Laboratories and serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Materials Science. Carter's research areas of focus include Transmission Electron Microscopy and Atomic-force microscopy.

Carter received his B.A. (1970), M.A. (1974), and Sc.D. (2005) in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University, his M.Sc. in Materials Science in 1971 from Imperial College, and his D. Phil. in Metallurgy & Science of Materials from Oxford University in 1976.

Carter spent 14 years as a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Cornell University. He then spent 16 years as a professor and the 3M Endowed Multidisciplinary Chair in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota. Carter was the head of UConn’s Department of Chemical, Materials, and Biomolecular Engineering for 5 years. He had earlier held visiting positions at LANL (as the Bernd T. Matthias Scholar), Chalmers (as the 2004 Jubilee Professor), NIMS in Tsukuba, Bristol University, Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart, the Institute for Physical Chemistry in Hannover and the Ernst Ruska Center in Jülich.

Carter is the co-author of two textbooks: Transmission Electron Microscopy: A Textbook for Materials Science, written with Dave Williams and Ceramic Materials: Science and Engineering, written with Grant Norton. Transmission Electron Microscopy: Diffraction, Imaging, and Spectrometry, edited with Dave Williams, will be available in 2016.

He is the Editor-in- Chief of the Journal of Materials Science. As the Editor-in- Chief, he processes over 6,000 submissions that are received each year, distributing them to a team of 20 Editors.

He has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Alexander von Humboldt Senior Award. He is a Fellow of AAAS, MRS, Microscopy Society of America (MSA), ACerS and the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS) and an elected Member of CASE. He served as the 1997 President of MSA, as the 2003-2010 General Secretary of the International Federation of Societies for Microscopy (IFSM), was President of IFSM from 2011 to 2014, and now serves as Vice President.
