Dr Marshall was born on 5 March 1932 in Rumney, Wales. He attended St. Illtyd's College, Cardiff and then the University
· of Birmingham where he obtained a PhD for research on antiferromagnetism and neutron scattering from ferrogmagnets.. Taught by Professor Sir Rudolph Peieris, he also came into contact with Professor Sir Brian Flowers who encouraged him to work at Harwell, where he started as a Scientific Officer in 1954. He has spent two years in the USA where he worked as a Research Physicist both at the University of California in Berkeley and at Harvard University, returning in 1959 to become a Group Leader (Solid State Theory) at Harwell. The following year he was appointed Head of Theoretical Physics Division, and in 1966 Deputy Director of Harwell.
Dr Marshall was appointed Director of AERE Harwell in 1968, and in 1969 also became Director of the Research Group of the Atomic Energy Authority. In 1972 the Minister for Industry appointed him a full-time Member of the Authority. Dr Marshall then additionally became Chief Scientist of the newly formed Department of Energy in July 1974 but left this post in July 1977. His latest appointment was in addition to the last one as Deputy Chairman of the AEA from December 1975, relinquishing his post as Director of Harwell and the Research Group.

He is a 1964 Maxwell Medallist and a Kelvin Lecturer of the British Association. In 1971 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, and is also a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and the Physical Society, the American Physical Society, the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and of the Swedish Royal Academy. He has also been awarded an Honorary Doctorate at Salford University and, in 1973, was awarded the CBE in the New Year's Honours List and in 1975 he received the Glazebrook Medal of the Institute of Physics in recognition of his successful direction of the R & D work of the AEA and particularly the administration of Harwell.
In 1971 Dr Marshall's book entitled 'The Theory of Thermal Neutron Scattering', written with Dr S W Lovesey, was published by the Oxford University Press.
Dr Marshall lives in Goring-on-Thames, is married and has two children. His intérests include croquet, gardening, origami and, of course, physics.
