Rate My Professor Patrick McGarry

McGarry's research specializes in computational and experimental solid mechanics, numerical simulation and finite element analysis, constitutive law development, microstructural modelling of materials, tissue biomechanics, cell biomechanics, stroke and thrombus biomechanics, fracture mechanics, medical device design, orthopaedic biomechanics, cardiovascular biomechanics, composite structures, turbine design, and fluid mechanics. He has authored over 100 papers in leading peer-reviewed journals on solid mechanics, biomechanics, and advanced computational simulation. Notable publications include 'Cellular automata and crystal plasticity modelling for metal additive manufacturing' (Kavousi et al., 2024), 'On the Importance of Including Cohesive Zone Models in Modelling Mixed-Mode Aneurysm Rupture' (Concannon et al., 2024), and 'A simplified mesoscale 3D model for characterizing fibrinolysis under flow conditions' (Petkantchin et al., 2023). He has supervised 21 PhD students and seven postdoctoral researchers, and secured major funding from Science Foundation Ireland and EU-H2020. His contributions have garnered ten major international prizes from institutions such as the World Congress of Biomechanics and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, two Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland medals for best bioengineering research, two Engineers Ireland medals for biomedical engineering research, and the University of Galway President's Award for Research Excellence in 2015. McGarry has delivered 16 invited keynote lectures at leading international conferences.
