Born in Pleasantville, N.Y., Rosenthal received a B.S. in mathematics at Cornell University in 1964. He then earned an M.S. in 1966 and a Ph.D. in 1969, both in chemical physics from Harvard University.

He joined Drexel in 1973 as an assistant professor of chemistry and was promoted to associate professor in 1978. Rosenthal developed computer models to study scattering theory and two-body systems. During a sabbatical, he served as a Princeton University fellow, collaborating with Herschel Rabitz. He never retired.

Surviving are his wife of 36 years, Abby, and his daughters, Brin and Blake.
