Marcus conducts research on phenomena in quantum materials at the nanoscale. This includes the study of multiferroic materials for next generation energy efficient integrated devices. His research interests also include synchrotron science and technologies for x-ray lens-less imaging at the nanoscale. He has pioneered the development and use of lens-less imaging techniques such as Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI) for the study of quantum materials at the nanoscale. Marcus also plays an active role in the development of CDI techniques at various synchrotron facilities. He is the recipient of several research awards funded by EPSRC, STFC, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and Innovate UK. Marcus currently holds a UKRI Future Leader Fellowship.
Marcus is passionate about the promotion of STEM sciences amongst ethnic minority and disadvantaged groups worldwide. He is also active in seeking to further develop capability and improve access to scientific research infrastructure in the developing world.
