Chemistry Department Congratulates Professor Jim Kincaid on his retirement

Professor Jim Kincaid has retired from Marquette University after 38 years of distinguished research, teaching, and service in the Chemistry Department. A native of the Cincinnati area, Jim received his undergraduate degree at Xavier University. He then earned his Ph.D. at Marquette University in the 1970’s under the supervision of Dr. Kazuo Nakamoto – a world-renowned expert in vibrational spectroscopy. Following stints at Princeton University and the University of Kentucky, Jim joined the faculty of Marquette in 1984. He quicky established a productive research program focused on the application of resonance Raman spectroscopy to biological and energy-related molecules. Along the way, he published 150 papers that have been cited over 5000 times. His research lab was continuously funded with grants from the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and Department of Energy. In light of his extraordinary contributions to Marquette, he was honored as a Wehr Professor, Way Klingler Fellow, Habermann Chair, and Haggerty Award for Research Excellence. In addition, he served as Chemistry Department chair from 2017-2021. We congratulate Jim on his retirement and thank him for being a fantastic scientist, colleague, mentor, and friend.
