Dr. Mark Feuer DiTusa received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Chicago, where he studied the properties of plastic semiconductors to improve their electronic performance. Mark was a Christine Mirzayan fellow working for the Gulf Research Program's Board on Gulf Education and Engagement, and was most recently Chemistry & Engineering News's producer for their podcast Stereo Chemistry. He relishes being in interdisciplinary roles and situations that require the synthesis of multiple knowledge bases, whether between sciences or between science and another discipline. As someone who grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and attended Louisiana State University, he has seen firsthand how the energy industry impacts and shapes communities. He also believes strongly that science is for everyone, and that communicating and educating about science is critical to an informed citizenry. He hopes to utilize his wide breadth of scientific, communications, and policy knowledge to work improving the lives of Americans, particularly in clean technology, environmental justice, and scientific education.
