Tom Apple

Thomas Mark Apple,[1] chancellor of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa June 2012[2] – August 2014[3] is a scientist whose research focuses on magnetic resonance spectroscopy. As the chief executive officer of the university, he was responsible for the leadership, administration and management of the academic enterprise.[4] His tenure as chancellor was marked by conflicts[5] with deans, other university leaders, and community leaders.[6][7][8]

Before joining University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Apple served as provost of the University of Delaware.[9] Prior to that, he was dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at that campus. He has also held key positions at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute[10] in New York, including vice provost, dean of graduate education, interim vice provost for institute diversity, and chair of the department of chemistry.

A native of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Apple received his doctorate in physical chemistry from the University of Delaware, and his Bachelor of Science in biology from Pennsylvania State University. He is a published author with numerous works in a variety of journals, including Chemistry of Materials,[11] Macromolecules,[12] and Journal of Materials Research.[13]
