Anne Marie March | Argonne National Laboratory

Biography

Dr. March is a Physicist in the Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics Group in the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division. Her current research interests include fundamental light-matter interactions, the dynamics of photoexcited molecules in solutions, ultrafast X-ray techniques, and laser control of chemical reactions. She has expertise in time-resolved X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopies, ultrafast lasers, and nonlinear optics and has developed MHz-repetition-rate laser-pump, X-ray-probe measurement techniques at beamline 7ID of the Advanced Photon Source.
