Dr Ian Mackie

Ian Mackie graduated from Oxford University in Mathematics in 1981 and obtained his doctorate from the University of Dundee in 1984 for work on the mathematical modelling of deep-bed filtration. He returned to Dundee in 1988 after 4 years in industry. His primary research areas are computational structures technology and engineering software design, and has published two research monographs. This work covers the application of object-oriented methods and numerical methods. Applications include finite element analysis, dynamic behaviour of structures parallel and distributed computing. He is on the Editorial Boards of Computers & Structures and Advances in Engineering Software.
