Fellow, Gund Institute for Environment
BIO
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 performs research in fluid mechanics and particulate flows, with particular focus on vortex flows and adhesive particulate flows. His recent projects have dealt with nanoparticle / hydrogel interaction, biofilm simulation and mitigation, renewable energy systems, turbulent particle agglomeration, snow physics, and particle mitigation from solar panels. 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. Dr. Marshall is the author of two books -- Inviscid Incompressible Flow (John Wiley & Sons, 2001) and Adhesive Particle Flow: A Discrete Element Approach (Cambridge University Press, 2014). In addition to his current faculty position, he has served as the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education in the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences since 2019.
