Karsten Reuter

Karsten received his Doctoral Degree in Theoretical Physics from the University Erlangen-Nürnberg in 1998. After postdoctoral stays at the Fritz-Haber- Institut der Max- Planck-Gesellschaft in Berlin and the FOM-Institut for Atomic and Molecular Physics in Amsterdam, he headed an Independent Junior Research Group at the Fritz-Haber-Institut from 2005, combined with the position of a Privatdozent at the Free University Berlin. Since 2009 he holds the Chair of Theoretical Chemistry at the Technische Universität München (TUM), is an adjunct professor in the TUM Physics Department, and is affiliated to the TUM Catalysis Research Center. In 2014/15 he was a visiting professor at the Chemical Engineering Department of Stanford University.
His research interests center on a quantitative multiscale modeling of materials properties and functions, in particular on linking predictive-quality quantum-mechanical electronic structure calculations with more coarse-grained statistical and continuum approaches. He has co- authored over 200 publications in this and related fields.
