Jeffrey Marshall

Jeffrey Marshall is a Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Vermont (UVM) and serves as the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education in the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences. He is also a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Gund Institute for Environment, and Vermont Academy of Science and Engineering (VASE).

• Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley (1987)
• Research focuses on fluid mechanics, particulate flows, vortex dynamics, biofluids, and renewable energy systems, with applications to biofilm mitigation, solar panel particle transport, and turbulent flow modeling.
• He directs the Vortex and Particulate Flow Laboratory and has authored two books: Inviscid Incompressible Flow (Wiley, 2001) and Adhesive Particle Flow: A Discrete Element Approach (Cambridge, 2014).

Recent research trends include stochastic vortex structures for turbulent particle transport, hybrid CFD-DEM methods for concrete flow simulation, and acoustic/ultrasound-enhanced particle diffusion in biofilms and hydrogels. His work spans biofluids, renewable energy systems, and computational fluid dynamics, with funded projects from NSF, NASA, and the Army’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL).

Scientific Awards:

• Fellow, American Society of Mechanical Engineers
• Fellow, Gund Institute for Environment
• Fellow, Vermont Academy of Science and Engineering
• Director, UVM Smart Grid IGERT program (2012–2019)
• Interim Director, Vermont Space Grant (2019)

Jeffrey Marshall has advised numerous PhD and MS students, including Zahra Khadem, Siavash Kasaeipour, and Ben Desroberts. His laboratory develops innovative models for particle transport in environmental and industrial systems, with patents on aeroacoustic dusters for particle removal.
