  Photograph of Marc Nyden   Dr. Nyden came to NIST in 1986 and is presently Leader of the Materials Fire Research Group. His research embraces a wide range of areas including: the electronic structures of atoms and molecules; the spectroscopic analyses of complex mixtures; and the kinetics and mechanisms of polymer degradation. He is currently involved in projects focusing on the development of high-throughput test methods for materials flammability research and the formulation of a theory of reaction rates for large molecules in condensed phases.

Before joining NIST, Dr. Nyden was a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of North Carolina and Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Michigan-Flint. He has continued to pursue his interest in teaching by serving as an adjunct faculty member in the Chemistry and Physics Department of The Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences.
