Mark F. Horstemeyer (born November 11, 1962) is a professor and engineering researcher at Liberty University. He was the Dean of the School of Engineering at Liberty University from 2019-2025[1].

Career

[edit]

Horstemeyer was the Giles Distinguished Professor at Mississippi State University (MSU) and professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Mississippi State University (2002–2018), holding a Chair position for the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS) in Computational Solid Mechanics; he was also the Chief Technical Officer for CAVS. Before coming to MSU, he worked for Sandia National Laboratories for fifteen years (1987-2002) in the area of multiscale modeling for design.[2]

Horstemeyer became dean of the School of Engineering at Liberty University in 2019[3]. While at Liberty, Horstemeyer coined the term “Creationeering”, a process that incorporates engineering and business entrepreneurship principles in a Christian framework.[4] Horstemeyer stepped down from his role as dean in 2025 to focus on research.[1]

Published works

[edit]

Horstemeyer is the author of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) for Metals: Using Multiscale Modeling to Invigorate Engineering Design with Science, published in July 2012.[5] He also is the author of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) for Metals: Concepts and Case Studies, published in July 2018.[6]
