David
Hunter Marks, Ph.D.
Morton and Claire Goulder Family Professor of Civil
and Environmental Engineering and Engineering Systems
Director, Laboratory for Energy and the Environment,
MIT

Dr.
Marks received his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from
the Johns Hopkins University. His expertise is in how large-scale
infrastructure systems are organized and managed, with special
concern for anticipating and mitigating larger scale, environmental
and economic impacts.
Much
of Dr. Marks’ work is based on large-scale computer-based
simulation and optimization modeling to help illuminate
conflicts between competing objectives, goals, interest
groups, and governmental organization. This work led to
contributions in large-scale environmental systems, multi-objective
analysis under uncertainty, and in new methods for increasing
the interaction between scientific and technical knowledge
and the difficult, diffuse, decision-making process involved
in environmental management. Within the United States, he
has been instrumental in work on large-scale infrastructure
renewal, the clean up of hazardous wastes, and the provision
of safe drinking water.
Dr.
Marks has worked closely with groups at MIT in the understanding
of the interface between science, technology and society,
including being a founding member of the Technology, Management
and Policy Program. He teaches and advises in the MIT Technology
and Policy Program and is a founding member of MIT’s
Engineering Systems Division.
