BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Marc Richard came to Stockton in Fall 2007 after serving as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Williams College. He completed his doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2005 in the field of Materials Science with a focus on the structure-property relationship of ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys. Dr. Richard was awarded a B.S in Materials Science and Engineering from Northwestern University in 1999.EDUCATION

RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research focuses on studying the properties of trace explosives in an effort to improve standards development and detection. I work closely with Dr. Louise Sowers and with collaborators at government laboratories. This work involves several different types of analytical instrumentation including gas chromatography/ECD, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis, and ion mobility spectrometry. Past student projects have included method development, stability studies, and an analysis of particle collection efficiency.
