University of Cincinnati. He is the first scientist to be named to this post. Mark joined the university in 1977 as a professor of chemistry and served as chairman of the Physical Chemistry Division and later as director of the Polymer Research Center. A graduate of Wilkes College with a BS degree in chemistry, Mark received his PhD degree in physical chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. After serving as a postdoctoral fellow at

Stanford University under Paul J. Flory, Mark was assistant professor of chemistry at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, and later became a full professor at the University of Michigan. He has also done research and consulting work for industry and has served as a visiting professor at several institutions. Mark's research interests center around the physical chemistry of polymers, including configuration-dependent properties, conformational energies of

chain molecules, the elasticity of polymer networks, tin-containing polymers, and polymer-coated electrodes. An extensive lecturer in polymer chemistry, he has published more than 350 research papers and co-authored or co-edited seven books. Mark is the editor of the journal Computational Polymer Science and a fel-
