Margaret Wooldridge is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan, where she is also the Director of the University of Michigan Dow Sustainability Fellows Program. She received her Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in from Stanford University in 1995 and 1991; and her B.S. degree from the University of Illinois in 1989. Professor Wooldridge is internationally recognized for developing unique and powerful experimental methods to isolate and understand ignition and combustion chemistry, including fuels critical to fossil fuel and biofuel utilization. Her research contributions have been recognized with the U.S. Department of Energy’s highest award for a mid-career researcher – the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award in 2014. Her research program spans diverse areas where high-temperature chemically reacting systems are critical, including the effects of fuel composition on combustion performance in power and propulsion applications, ignition phenomena, and combustion synthesis of nanostructured materials.
