Andrew H. Marcus (born 1967) is a physical chemist whose multidisciplinary research on the faculty at the University of Oregon explores macromolecular dynamics in biological environments.
Early life and education
In 1987, Marcuse received a B.A. from the University of California, San Diego. He earned a Ph.D. in physical chemistry at Stanford University in 1994 with advisor Michael D. Fayer. His dissertation was titled, Probing the structure of bulk polymers and alloys using electronic excitation transport.[1] His postdoctoral work at the University of Chicago, James Franck Institute, was advised by Stuart A. Rice.
Career
Marcus held a postdoctoral research position at the University of Chicago before joining the department of chemistry and biochemistry faculty at the University 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]
