Mark Ratner is Morrison Professor in the Department
of Chemistry and a member of the Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern
University where he also earned his Ph.D. His research involves both the
development of theoretical methods and their application to chemical systems
of interest. Electron transfer processes, especially intramolecular electron
transfer and through-bond transfer processes, are a major focus of current
research. In addition, the theoretical chemistry of biological systems
is becoming a major focus. He is a recipient of the 2001 Feynman Prize
for major advances in molecular nanotechnology. He is the co-author of
Nanotechnology: A Gentle Introduction to the Next Big Idea (Prentice Hall,
2002) and of Nanotechnology and Homeland Defense (forthcoming Prentice
Hall, 2004).
