Dr. Mark Stillings is a Lecturer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, Faculty of Engineering. His research focuses on innovative approaches to environmental challenges, particularly in the areas of carbon capture and groundwater systems.
Dr. Stillings' research interests include:
- Mechanochemical processing of silicate rocks for CO2 capture and storage
- Groundwater geochemistry and environmental monitoring
- Carbon sequestration technologies for climate change mitigation
- Rock-water interactions and geological site characterization
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on developing novel mechanochemical approaches to trap carbon dioxide through rock processing, as well as innovative methods for identifying groundwater sources and characterizing geological structures through geochemical analysis. This work has significant implications for climate change mitigation strategies and environmental monitoring.
Dr. Stillings has been recognized for his contributions to engineering innovation with nominations for prestigious awards:
- Falling Walls Breakthrough of the Year in Engineering and Technology - Finalist (2023)
- The Hawley Award for an engineering innovation that helps to achieve Net Zero Carbon - Shortlisted (2023)
He leads and contributes to several significant research projects focused on carbon capture technologies and environmental engineering solutions, including "Combined grouting and mechanochemical treatment for safe asbestos decommissioning and disposal" as Principal Investigator, and "Mechanochemical processing of silicate rocks for direct carbon capture (MACO2)" as Research Co-investigator.
