Marc K. Smith is a Professor at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He began his tenure at Georgia Tech in 1991 after serving as an Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University. His research focuses on fluid mechanics, specifically hydrodynamic stability, liquid films, and droplet atomization. Dr. Smith's theoretical work includes surface-tension-driven flows, free-surface flows, and contact-line problems. He is currently developing new phase-change heat transfer technologies and studying fluid dynamics in bioreactors that cultivate biological tissues. His research aims to address thermal management in space applications and improve the design of bioreactors for tissue growth. Dr. Smith's efforts are sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and demonstrate significant contributions to fluid mechanics, particularly in microgravity environments. His work encompasses both experimental and numerical investigations of fluid dynamics and heat transfer, aiming to enhance the performance of fluid systems in challenging conditions.
