Dr. Marcus T. McEllistrem II was an esteemed faculty member in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kentucky from 1957 until his retirement in 1994, and was a mentor and teacher to generations of students during his distinguished 38-year history at UK. He was awarded the title of Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor Emeritus in 2008 in recognition of his exceptional scholarly contributions and service to the university, and in 2013 was inducted into the A&S Hall of Fame—his Hall of Fame induction video can be viewed here. Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Dr. McEllistrem earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in nuclear physics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. At UK he led the design and construction of the Van de Graaff Particle Accelerator Laboratory in Physics, which has been used for research in nuclear physics for over five decades, as well as for homeland security and corporate applications. He was awarded over 50 years of research funding from the National Science Foundation and Department of Energy, and was an invited guest scientist at many prestigious institutions and laboratories, such as the Brookhaven National Laboratory, Notre Dame University, and Bruyères le Châtel, CEA, France. Dr. McEllistrem’s obituary can be found here. Family will receive friends for visitation on Friday, June 21st from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Milward Southland located at 391 Southland Drive. Mass will begin at 10:00 am the following day at Cathedral of Christ the King, 299 Colony Boulevard. Memorial gifts can be made to the Marcus T. McEllistrem Summer Fellowship Fund here to support summer research for outstanding graduate students in the department.
