David R. Gaskell

David R. Gaskell's work focuses on the thermodynamics of materials, covering topics such as phase equilibrium, free energy, entropy, and reaction equilibria in metallurgical and materials systems. His recent output consists largely of textbook chapters explaining foundational concepts in materials thermodynamics and transport phenomena (heat, mass, and momentum transfer) as applied to materials processing, including metallurgical and steelmaking contexts. This body of work is oriented toward teaching core engineering principles rather than reporting new experimental findings.

Publication counts were sporadic in the middle of the decade (with several years showing none) but rose sharply in 2023-2024, reflecting a recent burst of related textbook-style publications.
