We are between mechanistic and synthetic bioinorganic and coordination chemistry, paving the path for the control and modulation of redox processes in living systems, biomimetic catalysis and chemical energy conversion.
2008 Professor (W3, Chair of Bioinorganic Chemistry), Erlangen-Nürnberg
Since 2020 Professor (W3, Chair of Bioinorganic Chemistry and Coordination Chemistry), LMU, Munich
