Marcus Bannerman

Dr. Marcus Bannerman is an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen, UK. His research focuses on computational techniques applied to engineering challenges, particularly in cement chemistry, molecular dynamics, and thermodynamics. He has supervised PhD students including W. Abdul, Craig Moir, and T. Hanein. His work includes developing software tools like DynamO for molecular dynamics simulations and Stator for collision calculations. He teaches chemical engineering and offshore process engineering, contributing to course materials and LaTeX thesis templates. His recent publications address clinker microstructure analysis, hard-sphere fluid dynamics, and methane plasma-catalysis. Bannerman collaborates on interdisciplinary projects, such as optimizing cement production processes and advancing computational methods for material science.
