Jeffrey Marshall

Professor and Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Education

Dr. Marshall moved to Vermont in 2006 from a faculty position at the University of Iowa, where he served as a professor and chair of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. Dr. Marshall performed research in fluid mechanics and particulate flows, with particular focus on vortex flows and adhesive particulate flows. His recent projects have dealt with nanoparticle diffusion, biofilm simulation, renewable energy systems, turbulent particle agglomeration, obscurent cloud dynamics, particle transport in gas turbine engines, and cold-regions sensor systems. Dr. Marshall is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and a Fellow of the Gund Institute for Environment. He served as the director of the UVM Smart Grid IGERT program from 2012-2019, and as the interim director of Vermont Space Grant in 2019. He teaches thermo-fluids related courses and also serves as the Associate Dean for Research in the College.
