Research summary

Paul Gannon's research focuses on high-temperature materials chemistry, particularly how chromium vapor interacts with and deposits (condenses) onto ceramic and glass-like (aluminosilicate) surfaces in hot air environments, work relevant to energy technologies like solid oxide fuel cells and protective coatings. He also studies related surface and oxide material properties, such as defect behavior in hematite (an iron oxide used in solar energy conversion), and has separately contributed to engineering education topics like sustainability curricula and safety practices.
