Marc Pound likes to keep to his own galaxy. His primary research interests are the kinematics of Galactic molecular clouds, very low-mass star formation, and no-mass star formation. He is currently involved in a project to use the world's most powerful lasers to simulate formation of the Eagle Nebula Pillars.

In addition to research, Marc is actively involved in software development for CARMA; and in visualization for models of photodissociation regions and dust shells around young and evolved stars.

Marc received BA & MA degrees in Astronomy and Physics from Boston University. He did his apprenticeship in radio astronomy at AT&T Bell Laboratories in the late 1980's. He got a PhD in Astronomy from the University of Maryland in 1994.
