Jeffrey Marque, a tutor and educator, worked for 20 years as Senior Staff Physicist at Beckman Coulter, Inc. before moving on to serve as Lead Simulation Engineer for defense contractor Northrop Grumman Corporation. At Beckman Coulter, Inc. Jeffrey Marque researched centrifuge dynamics and acoustics to enhance their performance. Marque developed two centrifuge patents and was consulted for design and manufacturing problems in biomedical centrifuges.
After leaving Beckman Coulter, Inc. in 2008 after 20 years with the company, Jeffrey Marque began work at Northrop Grumman, a company specializing in electronic, aerospace, and information systems as well as technical services. Directing both managerial and technical projects, Marque remained with the company for three years.
Before working in the private sector, Marque studied and received degrees in physics. After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, Jeffrey Marque completed a Master of Science in Physics at San Francisco State University. Continuing his education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Marque earned his Doctor of Philosophy there in 1984.
Afterward, Jeffrey Marque did research in protein dynamics at RIKEN (just outside of Tokyo, Japan), funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation's US-Japan Cooperative Science Program. Jeffrey Marque and his colleagues published the resulting work in Biophysical Journal and in Biochemistry. He subsequently completed a post-doctoral position at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, which also concerned the dynamics of protein molecules.
For decades, Jeffrey Marque has dedicated his efforts to serving students as an educator and tutor. Marque tutored students while attending college and later served in graduate teaching assistantships while attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and San Francisco State University. At College of San Mateo, he taught summer school classes in beginning physics. Jeffrey Marque also taught classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism courses at the University of San Francisco’s Physics and Astronomy Department. In addition, Jeffrey Marque has taught high altitude physiology at the University of California, San Francisco; lectured to science and engineering professionals; and organized engineering colloquia.
Presently, Jeffrey Marque teaches physics and math to college and secondary school students. Marque also assists students in preparing for the SAT.
