GOLDEN, Colo., Nov. 19, 2014 – The 2014 Colorado School of Mines Faculty Senate Distinguished Lecturer, Chemical and Biological Engineering Department Head David Marr, will present “My Dark Path to the Bio Side,” at 4 p.m. Dec. 3 in the Student Center Ballrooms.
During his nearly 20 years at Mines, Marr’s career arc has paralleled many of the changes that have occurred at Mines. Beginning as a colloid/soft-matter chemical engineer, Marr has extended his interest to biological systems. Marr’s talk will explore how research happening at Mines can help develop improved and less expensive medical technologies.
Marr joined Mines in 1995 and holds a bachelor of science in chemical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and master’s and PhD degrees in chemical engineering from Stanford University.
The Faculty Senate Distinguished Lecturer Award, established in 1990, gives Mines faculty the opportunity to recognize their outstanding colleagues. They select lecturers admired and respected as educators, who have stimulating ideas to convey and an ability to communicate those ideas effectively.
