Research Summary

Dr. Patrick Shamberger has a background in functional inorganic materials, including interests in phase transformations, crystal structure/property relationships, and thermodynamics. These have been applied to a range of problems on both natural (geological) and engineered systems. His current areas of focus include 1) magnetic field-induced phase transformations for energy efficient refrigeration cycles, 2) development of high cooling power, high energy storage density thermal storage materials for thermal management and efficient heat storage based on phase change, physisorption, and chemical dissociation processes, and 3) variability and repeatability of nanoscale switching mechanisms in oxide-based resistance switches.
