Paul Marshall

Paul W. Marshall received his B.S. in Physics from James Madison University in 1980, his M.S. in Radiation Biophysics from the Medical College of Virginia in 1982, and his Ph. D. from the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics at the University of Virginia in 1985. Since 1985, he has been employed by SFA, Incorporated, under contracts supporting the Naval Research Laboratory's Radiation Effects Branch. His activities there have included development of porton test capabilities for microelectronic and photonic components of interest to satellite developers. Basic mechanisms of proton interactions have been a major emphasis in his studies of displacement damage and single event effects from protons. Since 1991 Dr. Marshall has been engeged, first as a collaborator and more recently as a consultant, with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Radiation Effects Group where he supports component and subsystem evaluations for numerous flight projects and continues investigations into basic mechanisms of proton and other radiation effects in emerging technologies.
