Brief Biography of Tobin Marks, Northwestern University Tobin J. Marks was born on November 25th, 1944 in Washington, D.C. He received a B.S. degree from the University of Maryland in 1966 and, as an NSF Predoctoral Fellow, completed his Ph.D. studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1970. Dr. Marks then joined the faculty at Northwestern University, where he is now the Charles S. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Materials Science and Engineering. During his tenure at Northwestern University, Dr. Marks has established himself as a world leader in inorganic, organometallic, and materials science chemistry. His wide ranging research interests include transition metal and f-element organometallic chemistry, catalysis, vibrational spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, synthetic facsimiles of metalloprotein active sites, carcinostatic metal complexes, solid state chemistry, isotope separation, macrocycle coordination chemistry, laser-induced chemistry, and metal-organic vapor deposition. The importance of Dr. Marks' scientific contributions can be measured by the honors bestowed upon him. Among his major awards are the Fresenius Pure and Applied Chemistry Award of Phi Lambda Upsilon, Sobral Medalist of the Portuguese Chemical Society, the ACS Arthur K. Doolittle Award in Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering, the ACS Award in Organometallic Chemistry, and the ACS Award in Inorganic Chemistry. Dr. Marks is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Marks has served the profession in a number of capacities: as the 1997 Chairman of the ACS Division of Inorganic Chemistry; as a member of the editorial and advisory boards of many journals including Associate Editor of Organometallics; and as an organizer of numerous national and international symposia and workshops.
