Laurence D. Marks

Laurence (Laurie) Marks (born 1954) is an American professor of materials science and engineering at Northwestern University (1985–present). He is known for contributions to the study of nanoparticles as well as work in the fields of electron microscopy, diffraction and crystallography. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society. He was awarded the Warren Award by the American Crystallographic Association in 2015 for his contributions to electron diffraction, and the 2017 ICSOS Surface Structure Prize[1] for his contribution to surface structure determination applying both experimental and theoretical methods.

Early life and education

Marks attended the Trinity School of John Whitgift in Croydon. As a teenager Marks played chess competitively and went on to win the British Chess Championship Under 21 in 1973.[2]

In 1973 Marks was awarded a scholarship to King's College at University of Cambridge. He graduated in 1976 with a B.A. in chemistry.[3] From 1976 to 1980 he was a research student at the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge.[4] There he worked with Archibald Howie on electron microscopy and the structure of metal crystals.[5] He received his Ph.D. in physics from Cambridge in 1980. His thesis topic was The structure of small silver particles.[4][6]

From 1980 to 1983 Marks was a post-doctoral fellow in Archibald Howie's group at the Cavendish.[7] In 1983 he moved to the United States and was a post-doctoral fellow in John M. Cowley's group at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.[7]

Career

In March 1985 Marks joined the faculty of Northwestern University as an assistant professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering. In June 1992 he was promoted to full professor.[4]

As of September 2023, Marks is an Emeritus Professor at Northwestern University[8]
