معرفی
Mark McCready is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and serves as the Senior Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Affairs in the College of Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. He has been a faculty member since 1984 and held the position of Department Chair from 1996 to 2012.
- Ph.D., University of Illinois, 1984
- B.Ch.E., University of Delaware, 1979
His research focuses on multiphase fluid flows in confined geometries, CO2 absorption using ionic liquids, micro fuel cell technologies, and phase change processes. His work integrates fundamental fluid dynamics with practical applications in energy and environmental systems.
Recent publications highlight a strong trend in carbon capture technologies, particularly using encapsulated ionic liquids, alongside contributions to molecular dynamics simulations for battery electrolytes and engineering education, especially in capstone design and international experiences.
- Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)
McCready has advised numerous graduate students and led major research initiatives, including collaborations with NASA and development of innovative educational tools. His work in gas-liquid reactors, bubble nucleation, and transport phenomena has been supported by significant grants over decades. He has also contributed to curriculum development, including study abroad programs and electronic portfolios for student development.
His research group has been involved in the design and simulation of micro-encapsulated systems for CO2 capture, molecular modeling of electrolytes, and experimental studies of two-phase flows in microgravity and confined geometries.
