Jeffrey Marque
Jeffrey Marque of San Mateo, California, has led an impressive academic career that began in the 1960s. In 1966, he enrolled in Portland, Oregon’s Reed College, where he studied physics for two years and acted as Concertmaster of the Reed College orchestra. In 1968, Jeffrey Marque moved to California, where he was accepted to the University of California, Berkeley. In 1971, he graduated with honors and a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and Biology. His next educational endeavor took him to San Francisco, where he attended the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on a full scholarship to study chamber music for a year. Simultaneously, Jeffrey Marque continued his pursuit of an education in physics, this time earning a Master’s degree in the subject from San Francisco State University. In 1977, Jeffrey Marque moved to Illinois, where he was accepted into the Ph.D. program in physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; he graduated in 1984. He used spectroscopy and thermodynamic measurement studies to write his dissertation on the kinetics of the protein bacteriorhodopsin, and parts of his work were published in important journals, including Photochemistry and Photobiology. During his time at the university, Jeffrey Marque was also elected to join Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, an organization founded to recognize outstanding work in the field of scientific investigation and promote unity among science and engineering researchers. Upon completing his educational pursuits, Jeffrey Marque received a National Science Foundation U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science Program grant, which enabled him to travel to Japan and complete post-doctoral research in biophysics. Upon the completion of his time abroad, he accepted a post-doctoral position at Cornell University, where he studied the dynamics of acetylcholine receptor, a protein found on the membrane of nerve cells. After his stint at Cornell, he lectured on both electricity and magnetism and classical mechanics for classes in the University of San Francisco’s Physics Department. Jeffrey Marque then accepted a position at Smithkline Beckman’s Spinco Division, where he acted as an Engineering Staff Physicist at the Palo Alto, California-based manufacturing and biomedical centrifuge design building. He also made time to teach at the College of San Mateo, where he instructed a physics course for beginning students. Jeffrey Marque most recently served as a Lead Simulation Engineer at Northrop Grumman Corporation’s Marine Systems division in Sunnyvale, California, where he managed projects that involved adapting gaming software to show the output of an engineering simulation.
