BiographyBorn as Marjorie Blasius, she grew up in Beavercreek, Ohio, and was 1968 co-valedictorian of Beavercreek High School.[2] She earned a bachelor's degree in physics in 1972 from the University of Dayton, graduating summa cum laude,[3] and in the same year married Christopher Corcoran, taking his surname.[4] As a graduate student at Indiana University, she began doing high-energy physics research at Fermilab.[1] Her 1977 doctoral dissertation, Measurement of the polarization parameter in proton-proton elastic scattering for beam momenta ranging from 20 GeV/c to 200 GeV/c, was supervised by Homer Neal.[5] She joined the Rice University faculty in 1980.[1] She died while bicycling on February 3, 2017 in Houston, from a collision with a METRORail train.[1] ContributionsAs a professor at Rice, Corcoran continued her work at Fermilab as part of several large collaborative physics projects including the D0 experiment, KTeV collaboration, and muon-to-electron-conversion experiment.[9] She also worked in physics outreach activities that included founding the Houston QuarkNet Program for high school physics students and teachers, helping to found a Women in Physics Group at Rice, sending undergraduates to physics conferences, and otherwise encouraging other women to participate in physics.[9] Awards and honorsIn 1992, the American Physical Society (APS) named her as a fellow "for contributions to experiments studying spin asymmetries in hadronic collision".[6] In 2015, the APS listed her as their January 2015 Woman of the Month.[7] References1. ^1 2 3 {{citation|url=http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Beloved-Rice-scientist-dies-in-bicycle-accident-10907787.php|newspaper=Houston Chronicle|date=February 3, 2017|first=Mike|last=Glenn|title=Beloved Rice scientist dies in bicycle-light rail accident}}. {{DEFAULTSORT:Corcoran, Marjorie}}2. ^{{citation|url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/42845356/|title=485 To Graduate From Beavercreek High Tuesday |newspaper=Xenia Daily Gazette|date=May 27, 1968}}. 3. ^{{citation|url=http://ecommons.udayton.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5047&context=news_rls|title=Marjorie D.
