马克·S.斯旺森于1976年在密苏里州哥伦比亚大学获得物理学博士学位，在埃德蒙顿的阿尔伯塔大学获得博士后学位，他于1979年加入康涅狄格大学的物理系，研究重点是正则量子化技术与路径积分的函数方法之间的关系，他编写了专著《路径积分与量子过程》，此外，他还担任过斯坦福德校区主任和副院长等行政职务，他于2014年退休，现在是名誉物理学教授，他与妻子一起住在康涅狄格州，在那里他继续从事与物理学、计算机编程有关的工作，并以弹吉他为乐。
While it is fair to say that the last century of physics has been dominated both experimentally and theoretically by the study of quantum processes， the framework for the understanding of these phenomena consists of concepts developed in classical physics and extended to quantum mechanical systems. In that regard， the necessity of generalizing the concepts of energy， momentum and angular momentum to the case of classical fields provided the tools used in the wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics. Classical electrodynamics and non-abelian gauge theories have become successful quantum field theories， yielding deep insights into quantum processes. At the time of writing， developing a quantum mechanically consistent version of gravitation is a vigorous and unsettled area of research， yet the insights provided by Einstein's classical theory of general relativity remain the basis for much of the effort to create such a theory.
Mark Swanson, received his PhD in physics from the University of Missouri at Columbia in 1976. After a post-doctoral appointment at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, he joined the physics department at the University of Connecticut in 1979. His research focused on the relationship between canonical quantization techniques and the functional approach of path integrals, which led to authoring the monograph 'Path Integrals and Quantum Processes'. In addition, he served in administrative capacity as the Stamford Campus director and an associate dean. He retired in 2014 and is now emeritus professor of physics. He lives in Connecticut with his wife where he continues to work on physics, programming computers, and amusing himself with the guitar.
