Marc H. Ross
Professor Emeritus
Department of Physics |
 Prof. Ross’ research is in environmental physics, especially energy use and its impacts and the reduction of those impacts through efficiency and conservation. Up to the mid-1980s his special focus was industrial energy use. Since the late 1980s he has focused on automobiles. Much of his current research concerns technologies to improve fuel economy. He has also analyzed the emissions of in-use cars. An important part of this has been creation and improvement of a model of fuel use and emissions as they depend on driving. Recently he has been studying the relationships between traffic safety, vehicle mass and other variables in order to evaluate effects of changes in vehicle mass and design on traffic fatalities. He nominally retired, moving onto TIAA's payroll in 2001. He continues to teach, sharing a graduate course in the use of energy by people.
