Marko Horbatsch

Marko Horbatsch is a Full Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at York University, Faculty of Science. His research focuses on theoretical and computational studies of atomic and molecular collisions, ionization, electron capture, and interactions with strong laser fields. Specific interests include multiple ionization in ion-atom/molecule collisions, quantum optics, and high-precision spectroscopy for measurements like the proton radius and electron electric dipole moment (eEDM). He develops novel computational methods and tests time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT).

Research areas include Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (AMO), with a computational and theoretical emphasis. He is affiliated with the EDMcubed collaboration, advancing methods to measure the eEDM using matrix-isolated BaF molecules. His work spans topics such as Stark resonances, laser-molecule interactions, and precision experiments in quantum physics.
