Peter J. Schubert

Peter J. Schubert's work spans an unusually wide range of engineering and applied physics topics, including energy storage systems (such as pumped hydropower in abandoned coal mines), space resource extraction (like mining platinum or actinides from asteroids and lunar regolith), wireless power transfer, nuclear propulsion concepts, and materials for electronics such as silicon nanowire transistors. Much of the research is technically oriented and applied, often involving techno-economic analysis of novel energy and space technologies. This body of work would suit students interested in interdisciplinary engineering problems that combine energy systems, space technology, and materials science.

Publication output peaked around 2019-2021 with several papers per year, then slowed considerably from 2022 onward, averaging about 2 publications per year over the last five years.
