Remembering Marino Xanthos




Yesterday there was a tribute at NJIT for Dr. Marino Xanthos who passed away in June of this year.  He was a renowned leader in polymer engineering and science research and was recognized with a number of NJIT and national awards.  There were several introductory remarks made by the President, Provost, administrators and faculty.  They spoke of his accomplishments as a researcher, teacher and Associate Provost of Graduate Studies at Stevens Institute of Technology and at NJIT.  Dr. Costas Gogos, a friend and colleague of Marino for many years gave a detailed account of his professional and family life.

As liaison to the Department of Chemical Biological and Pharmaceutical Engineering I was his librarian.  It was always my pleasure to serve him and greet him when I saw him on campus.  I should conclude by listing just a few of his publications.
