!!Marcis Auzinsh
!Short laudatio by Zenonas Rudzikas
\\
Marcis Auzinsh' achievements are recognized in the large number of national awards including the Large Medal of the Academy, the highest award of the Latvian Academy of Sciences, to which
Marcis Auzinsh was elected as a full member in 1998, at that time being the youngest member
of the Academy.
\\ \\
Professor Auzinsh leads a large research group. He has been and still is a principal investigator on a
large number of national projects (7) and projects funded by the European Commission (3), NATO (4),
NSF (1) and bilateral projects (5), some of which are ongoing.
\\ \\
His original research results are published in 86 papers in SCI journals.
Among them are 5 papers in Physical Review Letters, 14 in Physical Review A and 13 in the Journal
of Chemical Physics. He has published around 150 book chapters, papers in conference proceedings, article
collections and conference theses. The main results are summarized in two monographs. The
first book, Optical Polarization of Molecules, printed at Cambridge University Press and written
in collaboration with Prof. Ruvin Ferber, was published in 1995 and reprinted in 2005. In 2010
Oxford University Press published a second monograph, Optically Polarized Atoms: Understanding
Light-Atom Interactions, which he wrote together with his colleagues form the University of California
at Berkeley, Prof. Dmitry Budker and Mr. Simon Rochester.
\\ \\
Already during the work on his Master's Thesis, when he directly measured thermalization kinetics and
the thermalization rate of diatomic molecules, Marcis Auzinsh achieved outstanding results that were
published in leading physics journals. During his PhD Thesis work he discovered several previously
unknown effects related to the manifestation of high rank multipole moments of quantum density
matrices and additional structure in magneto-optical resonances in the polarization rate of the laser
induced fluorescence of diatomic molecules that exceeded the classical limit.
