About
Dr. David Bayless returned to Missouri S&T on Jan. 1, 2021, as Chair of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He was previously the graduate chair of mechanical engineering and Gerald Loehr Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.
Dr. Bayless earned a master’s degree in engineering management from the University of Central Florida near Orlando and his doctorate in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He earned a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Missouri S&T.
An expert in the connections among energy, water and waste, Dr. Bayless’ research focuses on carbon recycling and wastewater remediation, enhancing hydrocarbon recovery from hydraulically fractured (fracked) shale formations, and developing photobioreactors to grow algae for commercial use. He has been principal investigator in more than $17 million in externally funded research. Bayless holds 13 patents.
In addition, Dr. Bayless is director of the Ohio Coal Research Center and the Robe Leadership Institute. He is a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The Ohio Society of Professional Engineers named him Outstanding Engineering Educator in 2016, and he is a five-time Ohio University Top Faculty Newsmakers awardee. Bayless is a registered professional engineer in both Missouri and Ohio and is a U.S. Navy veteran.
