About Prof. Weichman:
Marissa was born in Pasadena, CA and raised in Denver, CO and Bedford, MA. She obtained her B.S. in chemistry from the California Institute of Technology in 2012, where she performed undergraduate research in the Okumura Group and was an active member of Blacker House. She pursued her graduate studies in chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley where she was an NSF graduate research fellow in the Neumark Group, and also worked in collaboration with Knut Asmis’s group at the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin. Marissa was awarded the 2018 Justin Jankunas Doctoral Dissertation Award in Chemical Physics from the American Physical Society for her thesis work. After completing her PhD in 2017, she joined the Ye Group as a NIST/NRC postdoctoral research fellow at JILA, on the University of Colorado Boulder campus. Marissa began her independent career in the Princeton University Department of Chemistry in July 2020. Her group’s work has been recognized with a 2022 Department of Energy Early Career award, a 2023 NSF CAREER award, a 2023 Packard Foundation fellowship, a 2025 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), and a 2025 Cottrell Scholars Award. Outside of the lab, Marissa can be found doing crossword puzzles or walking long distances in the great outdoors (though rarely both at the same time).
