Anthony
J. Marchese
is the Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs, Director of the Engines
and Energy Conversion Laboratory and Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering at Colorado State
University. Marchese holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in Mechanical
and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University and B.S. and M.S. degrees
from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. His research areas include internal combustion engines, alternative
fuels, combustion, chemical kinetics, microgravity experiments, methane emissions and biomass cookstoves. Current
research projects include biodiesel chemical
kinetics, pollutant formation from algae-based biofuels, exhaust emissions from algal methyl esters, locomotive engine emissions,
ultrasonic harvesting of microalgae, dual fuel diesel/natural gas engines, biomass gasifier cookstoves and methane emissions from the
natural gas supply chain. In 2019, he was elected Chair of the U.S. States Sections of the Combustion Institute. From 2013 to 2016, he was the Principal Investigator on a $1.9
Million study organized by the Environmental Defense Fund aimed at quantifying total methane emissions from the gathering and processing sectors of the natural gas supply chain. Results from this study have been published in Science, Nature Communications and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He previously served as the fuel conversion team leader for the National Alliance for Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts, a $50 Million DOE algal biofuel consortium. Marchese teaches courses in
combustion, thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and product
design. He has previously held positions at Rowan University, United
Technologies Research Center in East Hartford, CT and NASA Glenn Research
Center in Cleveland, OH. He is the holder of numerous United States Patents and is
a member of Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, Pi Tau Sigma, The Combustion Institute,
AIAA, ASME, SAE and ASEE. In 2001, he was named a Carnegie
Scholar by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and in
2004 he was awarded the ASEE Kauffman Outstanding Entrepreneurship Educator
Award.
