Some years after forging an initial bond with Ofer Vicus, when their lives intersected during work with advanced process analysis technology, Marcus joined Ofer to cofound Aduro and explore an idea. The idea grew slowly and uncertainly, but with the added abilities of Anil, experimentation yielded knowledge to fuel the company’s initial offerings. In his career developing and applying advanced analytical technology to support petrochemical process automation, Marcus combined imagination and insight with graduate training in material science &; engineering, chemometrics, and organic chemistry, yielding numerous patents and foundational presentations at industry conferences. But for his contribution to Aduro advancements, he credits training in organic chemistry that gives sight of molecules’ unseeable dance; and inspiration from Shakespeare to portray well in words what the mind’s eye sees. Discovery from insight yields patents from words that Marcus crafts to cover the ever-expanding platform of chemical technologies coinvented with Anil and the Aduro team of scientist-engineers. Deep in that technology, Marcus finds form, beauty, and motion akin to that in works of classical music that he loves deeply.
