Dr. Marshall "Mark" White has been a member of the faculty in the Department of Wood Science & Forest Products at Virginia Tech since 1975. Originally from New Jersey, Dr. White received degrees from Colorado State University and Virginia Tech. Dr. White is the director of the William H. Sardo Jr. Pallet & Container Research Laboratory and the Center for Unit Load Design. His research and extension programs through the pallet lab and the unit load design lab focus on unit load materials handling efficiency. As a result of his research expertise, Dr. White has written many national and international standards for pallets and containers. He is head of the US delegation to the International Organization of Standardization (IS) TC51 Committee on International Pallet Standards and chairs the American Society of Engineers MH1 Committee on Pallet & Container Standards. Mark enjoys vacationing on New Jersey beaches and raising Newfoundlands.
