Jeffrey Marque

Jeffrey Marque, a teacher, physicist, and musician currently living in San Mateo, California, began helping students during his undergraduate career, when he tutored high school students. In the early 1970s, Jeffrey Marque continued tutoring while he served as a Staff Research Associate at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). There, he also organized courses on mountaineers’ medical concerns as a result of reading James Wilkerson’s book, Medicine for Mountaineering. Jeffrey Marque has instructed students in classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism courses at University of San Francisco. In the early 1990s, he served as an instructor at the College of San Mateo, where he taught a beginning physics course during the college’s summer sessions. In addition to his work in teaching, Jeffrey Marque acted as Senior Staff Physicist at the Palo Alto, California-based Spinco Division of biomedical instrumentation company Beckman Coulter, Inc. There, he conducted research in the use of sedimentation-diffusion simulations in the control of rotor speed in ultracentrifuges, and two of the resulting algorithms became patented in the United States. In addition, his work was published in the journal Biophysical Chemistry and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers-sponsored Bioprocess Engineering Symposium. After Beckman Coulter announced, in 2007, plans to relocate to Indianapolis, Indiana, Jeffrey Marque joined the Marine Systems division of Northrop Grumman Corporation, serving as Lead Simulation Engineer. He holds membership in the American Physical Society and the Institute of Noise Control Engineering, an organization that promotes engineering solutions to excessive acoustical noise in a variety of applications. Jeffrey Marque deeply believes in giving back to his community, and has done volunteer work with a local food bank in Sunnyvale, California, along with fellow colleagues from Northrop Grumman. He has also donated his labor to the Interfaith Hospitality Network, an organization committed to helping needy families find housing and work. As a donor to Old First Concerts in San Francisco, Jeffrey Marque supports a year-round concert series that feature a wide array of accomplished musicians. A musician himself, Jeffrey Marque spent a semester studying chamber music at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where he had been awarded a scholarship. When he has time for leisure, he enjoys staying active, and likes riding his bike, hi
