Mr. Marshall joined TYRC in 2005, and is the principal investigator for two SBIR funded projects sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, to develop components for an HTS degaussing cable system for Navy ships.  Mr. Marshall is leading the development of a patent-pending cryogenic/electrical quick disconnect cable termination and mating junction box for HTS cables.

Mr. Marshall was principal investigator for an SBIR project sponsored by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to develop a novel lightweight HTS magnet for space applications.  He also designed and fabricated two 1st generation HTS magnets for the NASA Johnson Space Center, and one 1st generation HTS magnet for Creare, Inc., for the VASIMR electric space propulsion engine.

Mr. Marshall was employed with the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) from 1994 to 2005.  While there, he was responsible for the mechanical design, tooling and plant equipment design, and fabrication process development for the world-record 900 MHz NMR magnet, presently in operation at the NHMFL. He was responsible for the mechanical design, fabrication process development and manufacture of the world’s first 65 Tesla and 75 Tesla pulsed magnets available for scientific users at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.  Mr. Marshall was also a contributor to the 100 Tesla pulsed magnet development program at the NHMFL, and to a repetitively pulsed coil development program in partnership with the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Sandia National Laboratories. 

Mr. Marshall has authored two publications on the design and fabrication of pulsed magnets, and has shared authorship on several others related to the design and construction of superconducting and pulsed magnets.  Mr. Marshall is named as a co-inventor on US Pat. No. 6,735,848 B1 – “Method of Manufacturing a Superconducting Magnet”.

Mr. Marshall has a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Florida State University and a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
