Professor Shield has more than 140 publications in archival journals and has received numerous teaching awards. Research interests are in the general area of microstructural development in materials during processing, formation of nanostructured materials, and development of nanoscale structures for functional devices. He currently focuses much of his research efforts on developing novel nanomagnetic materials for high-energy permanent magnets. Additional expertise is in the area of materials characterization, notably electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction.
