Armstrong, Lindsay-Marie

Lindsay-Marie Armstrong is a Professor within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton; is the Academic Cluster Lead and co-Founder of the Solent Industrial Decarbonisation Cluster as part of the £20m UKRI Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC); she is the Head of Energy Technology Research Group and was Deputy Director of the Sustainability and Resilience Institute (SRI); and previous co-Founder and Chair of the Clean Carbon University Strategic Research Group (USRG).

 

She has a BSc (Hons) Mathematics degree and MSc in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). She completed her PhD developing reactive multiphase models for thermochemical conversion processes within coal and biomass fluidised beds. Upon completion she was awarded a New Frontiers Fellowship at the University of Southampton.

 

Lindsay-Marie develops computational tools for accelerating scale-up of reactive decarbonised technologies and has extensive knowledge of reactive multiphase modelling, particularly for carbon capture and utilization technologies. She publishes in leading journals (800+ citations), incl. Chem. Eng. J.; Int. J. Heat and Mass Trans.; Int. J. of Multiphase Flow; RSC Faraday Discussions; Frontiers in Chemistry; GCB Bioenergy. She takes a highly strategic and interdisciplinary research approach laying strategically initiated stepping-stones, e.g., external engagement, small grants, etc., to achieve outcomes with significantly high impact. She engages heavily across different sectors with industrial partners, having co-founded the Solent Cluster for decarbonising the Solent Region, policy makers and general public through perception gathering research. She is UoS lead for the Solent Cluster’s regional Innovate UK Local Industrial Decarbonisation Plan (£730k); R-CoI and lead bid writer for EP/J020184/1 (£715k); CoI for EP/K029150/1(£500k); CoI for EP/N013883/1 (£610k) and Co-I, EP/V027050/1; (£25m total, UoS – ~£600k).
