K. Ann-Marie Mårtensson-Pendrill (born 1952)[1] is a Swedish physicist.
Originally working in atomic physics, her interests gradually shifted towards physics education,[2] and she has published many works on the physics of playgrounds,[3][4] and amusement park rides such as roller coasters,[5][6] including the book Physics for the Whole Body in Playgrounds and Amusement Parks (AIP Publishing, 2021).
[7] She is a professor emeritus at the University of Gothenburg, senior professor at Lund University, and the former director of the National Resource Centre for Physics Education.
[1] In 2009, she started splitting her time between Gothenburg and Lund, where she directed the National Resource Centre for Physics Education.
[2] In 1997, Pendrill was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), after a nomination from the APS Forum on International Physics, "for her contributions to the development and use of atomic many-body methods to explore relativistic effects and parity non-conservation in heavy atoms".
