Professor Margaret Stack is a leading academic in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. She holds a Chair in Mechanical Engineering and leads the Tribology Research Group, which has secured over £2m in research funding since 2016. Her work focuses on tribocorrosion mechanisms in materials for renewable energy systems (e.g., tidal turbines) and biomedical implants. She is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Bio- and Tribo-Corrosion and a Fellow of multiple engineering institutions.
Education: BE (1984, University of Galway), MSc (1986), PhD (1990), DSc (2003, University of Manchester). Professional roles include EPSRC Peer Review College member and ISO standard advisor.
Research interests span erosion-corrosion maps, green tribology, and low-carbon technologies. Key projects include the EPSRC-funded ReC-ASM (£1.1m) and EU-funded SPIRE 2 collaborations. Her group has authored 220 publications, with an h-index of 41 (Scopus) and 49 (Google Scholar), and produced over 7,000 citations. Recent awards include the 2023 Donald Julius Groen Award and 2025 TopScholar recognition for top 0.5% scholars globally.
Over 30 PhD students have been supervised, including Mohammed Iftfhar (part-time PhD student and CEO of Stasis LMPS, recipient of the 2024 Corporate Livewire award). Collaborations span institutions like the University of Edinburgh and University of Ulster, focusing on energy storage and tidal materials science. Current activities include editorial roles, ISO standard advising, and keynote speaking at international conferences.
