Dr. R. Marshall Wilson, research professor in the Department of Chemistry, died Feb. 20 at Wood County Hospital. He had a long and illustrious career in photochemistry and photo-biochemistry. In recognition of his work, the Inter-American Photochemical Society (I-APS) in 2019 named him a fellow.

Wilson, who joined the faculty in 2005, first as interim director of the Center for Photochemical Sciences and also as a faculty member in chemistry, distinguished himself as a chemist and scholar over a diverse career. While at BGSU, Wilson’s research interests were directed toward photochemical application of lasers and his work was characterized by creative approaches to the development and sharing of new knowledge.

A memorial service for Wilson will be held at noon Saturday, Feb. 29, at the Deck-Hanneman Funeral Home, 1460 W. Wooster Street, Bowling Green.
