Andrew H. Marcus (born 1967) is aphysical chemist whose multidisciplinary research on the faculty at theUniversity of Oregon explores macromolecular dynamics in biological environments.
Marcus held a postdoctoral research position at theUniversity of Chicago before joining the department of chemistry and biochemistry faculty at theUniversity of Oregon in 1996.[2]
His research interests are interdisciplinary among the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Physics, and the Oregon Center for Optical Molecular & Quantum Science.[3] His group examines "the structure and dynamics of macromolecules in biological environments",[4] and he collaborates with faculty in Chemistry and Physics departments, "studying the ultrafast dynamics of excited electronic-vibrational states in coupled molecular networks, which are structurally ordered in DNA".[5]
2014 Interdisciplinary Research Award, UO Office of Research, Innovation and Graduate Education[2]
2014 Elected Fellow ofAmerican Physical Society. Citation:For his contribution to the development of linear and nonlinear fluorescence correlation spectroscopies, and their application to the study of the structure and dynamics of biochemical systems.[6]
