Andrew M. Duncan

Andrew M. Duncan serves as a Teaching Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Kansas State University's College of Engineering, holding the Merle and Helen Converse Family Cornerstone Teaching Scholar distinction. His role integrates advanced teaching methodologies with research in sustainable fuel systems, positioning him at the forefront of chemical engineering education and renewable energy innovation.

His academic foundation includes:

• Ph.D. in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering from University of Kansas (2015)
• B.S. in Chemical Engineering from University of Kansas (2007)

Duncan's research centers on renewable diesel fuel development, specializing in high-pressure (131 MPa) viscosity experimentation and thermophysical property prediction. His doctoral work within the multidisciplinary Feedstock to Tailpipe initiative examined the complete fuel lifecycle—from feedstock growth and production methods to engine performance and emissions testing—establishing critical methodologies for sustainable fuel characterization under extreme conditions.

His recognition includes:

• Outstanding Service to Undergraduate Education Award (2016) from University of Kansas Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department

Prior to joining Kansas State University, Duncan served as an instructor at the University of Kansas (2015-2017). He maintains an active scholarly profile through peer-reviewed publications and national conference presentations as an invited expert in fuel engineering.
