Marcus Herrmann

Marcus Herrmann is a Professor of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at Arizona State University's School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy. He is also affiliated with the Center for Negative Carbon Emissions. His research focuses on fluid mechanics, multiphase flows, atomization processes, and numerical methods for discontinuous interfaces. Herrmann holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from RWTH Aachen University (2001) and a Diplom (1995).

His career includes a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University's Center for Turbulence Research (CTR) and a visiting scientist position at the University of Technology Eindhoven, Netherlands. He has secured major grants from NASA, NSF, and industry partners like Honeywell, focusing on atomization modeling, supersonic crossflows, and turbulence simulations.

Research interests span computational fluid dynamics, multiphase flow simulation, and LES/DNS methodologies. His recent work emphasizes high-fidelity numerical techniques for particle-resolved simulations and phase interface dynamics.

Teaching includes courses like MAE 561 (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and MAE 384 (Advanced Math Methods for Engineers). He actively advises students through research and dissertation roles.

Notable projects include modeling wax deposition in pipelines and developing novel approaches for interface dynamics in turbulent flows. His work bridges fundamental fluid mechanics with industrial applications like combustion systems and porous media modeling.
