Marcus Bannerman

I am a lecturer in the School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen who applies a wide range of computational techniques to solve a variety of engineering problems. I teach chemical engineering; however, I am also a prolific coder/hacker and thoroughly enjoy solving physics and chemistry problems. I also repair test equipment in my spare time.

Major codes (Github)

• DynamO: website, Github
  An event-driven molecular dynamics code and visualisation suite.
• Stator: Github
  A library for collision calculations and compile-time computer algebra library.
• SimCem.com: website
  A database of thermodynamic data and corresponding computational thermodynamics code (Gibb's free energy minimisation).

Lecture Notes

• Heat, Mass, and Momentum Transfer: Lecture notes on transport phenomena.
• Separation Processes: Lecture notes on distillation and absorbtion.
• Offshore Process Engineering: Lecture notes on the offshore process engineering industry and the portable skills relevant to all industries (largely based on the work of Prof. Tom Baxter).
• CCP5 Summer School: lecture notes on statistical mechanics and Monte Carlo.
• CCP5 Summer School: Python course: A series of python notebooks to work through.
