Mark E. Eberhart is Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at the Colorado School of Mines and founder of First Principles Materials Design and Software. His research develops first-principles methods for understanding bonding and reactivity directly from the electron charge density. Building on QTAIM, he has introduced morphological and geometric analyses that quantify bond directionality, charge redistribution, and electrostatic structure in molecules, enzymes, and materials. His group has also developed electron-density analysis software used in both academic and applied research. Dr. Eberhart holds degrees from the University of Colorado (B.S., M.S.) and MIT (Ph.D.).
