Dr. Matthew J. Powell-Palm, is an accomplished thermodynamicist engineer currently serving as an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University. His expertise lies in isochoric thermodynamics and cryopreservation, demonstrated through over 25 peer-reviewed publications and multiple patents. Currently, he is involved in several translational projects, including the development of isochoric supercooling protocols for organ preservation, vitrification techniques for coral conservation, freezing methods for global food storage, and metrology techniques for planetary science.
In addition to his applied research, Dr. Powell-Palm conducts fundamental theoretical research in high-dimensional classical thermodynamics. His goal is to create new theoretical and computational frameworks to address complex material problems, such as mapping multi-dimensional phase diagrams and studying phase equilibria and metastabilities in systems influenced by multiple forms of thermodynamic work.
Dr. Powell-Palm actively seeks collaborations, particularly in areas where fundamental thermodynamics intersects with life sciences. If any aspect of his work interests you, he encourages you to reach out for potential collaborations.
