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, Marcus 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. 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.

His research interests are interdisciplinary among the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Physics, and the Oregon Center for Optical Molecular & Quantum Science. His group examines "the structure and dynamics of macromolecules in biological environments", 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".
