Starting at Sandia National Laboratories in August 2001, he is currently a principal member of the technical staff in Sandia’s Geochemistry organization. His primary role is project manager and overall technical lead on the Crude Oil Characterization Research Study, a 3-year, $10-million project investigating how crude oil properties affect potential combustion hazards during transportation and handling. In that role, he has extensive contact with a broad set of internal Sandia personnel and support organizations, as well as extensive external contact with federal sponsoring agencies in the United States and Canada and industry representatives in midstream oil and gas and associated service companies.
Prior to taking project manager responsibility on the crude oil research work in 2016, he served as a technical lead on the Sandia contract for geotechnical support of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in 2004 and focused on understanding and improving methods for sampling, measuring, and modeling crude oil properties and phase behavior in storage and handling applications. He led the technical scope development and aligned customer needs with Sandia capabilities for the $3-million annual project from 2010-2016. He was also principal investigator on numerous analyses and technical reports within the SPR scope during that period.
His first assignment at Sandia from 2001-2004 was as a principal investigator for developing and qualifying a wellbore stability model, which was a component of a larger performance assessment model of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).

Paul C. Canfield, Ph.D., graduated, summa cum laude, with a B.S. in physics from the University of Virginia (Charlottesville) in 1983. He received his M.S. from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he received his Ph.D. in 1990, having researched experimental condensed matter physics. From 1990 to 1993, Dr. Canfield was a postdoctoral researcher at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, working with Drs. Joe Thompson and Zachary Fisk. In 1993, Dr. Canfield joined the Ames Laboratory at Iowa State University (Ames). Since then, he has become a senior physicist in at the laboratory a Distinguished Professor of Physics, at the university, holding the Robert Allen Wright Professorship. Dr. Canfield’s research is centered on the design, discovery, growth and characterization of novel electronic and magnetic materials. He has made key contributions to the fields of superconductivity, heavy fermions, quantum criticality, quasicrystals, spin glasses, local-moment metamagnetism, and metal-to-insulator transitions. Dr. Canfield has helped to educate and train researchers in experimental, new-materials-physics throughout the world, emphasizing the need to tightly couple growth (often in single crystal form) and measurement of new materials. Dr. Canfield is a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). He was awarded the 2011 Department of Energy Lawrence Award for Condensed Matter Physics. In 2014, Dr. Canfield was awarded the APS David Adler Lectureship Award in the Field of Materials Physics, and was named a Gordon and Betty Moore Materials Synthesis Investigator.
