Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcus Bannerman is a multidisciplinary researcher and co-founder with 17 years of experience at the intersection of theory, simulation and experiment, currently combining academic leadership as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen with startup work at ScensAI. He has translated molecular and granular dynamics simulations into real-world experiments—from zero‑g granular damper tests on the vomit comet to decade-long pilot-scale development of greener cement—demonstrating rare end-to-end scale-up expertise. Marcus designs and builds bespoke hardware and electronics (a phased-array ultrasonic levitator and an electronic nose) to enable novel sensing and manipulation of particles and gases, aiming to create inexpensive, camera-like smell sensors for food security, chemical analysis and safety. His background blends thermodynamics, chemistry and instrumentation, and he’s equally comfortable writing code, building circuits, or running pilot production—an engineer who bridges lab benches, workshops and the field.
