Marcus T. Cicerone is an American physicist, physical chemist, and inventor. His research focuses on noninvasive spectroscopic imaging and dynamics in amorphous condensed phase matter. He is currently Professor of Chemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology and an Elected Fellow of the American Physical Society.[1][2]

He is known for his introduction of broadband coherent anti-Stokes microscopy, a label-free microscopy that provides quantitative Raman spectra in biological and synthetic materials.

He holds patents in optical technologies and stabilization of biologically active materials (proteins, mRNA, etc.).
