Jonathan McDonough
Dr McDonough is a Lecturer in Chemical Engineering in the School of Engineering at Newcastle University and is an Associate Member of IChemE. His expertise resides in additive manufacturing and its application to areas such as reaction engineering, flow chemistry, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, fluidisation, and carbon capture. One of Dr McDonough’s key research themes is to exploit additive manufacturing for the fabrication of new and novel reactor geometries that can unlock previously unobtainable operating windows, paving the way for potentially new chemistries and processes. He is actively involved in several complementary projects that explore different aspects of this goal.
