Igor Schapiro

Prof. Dr. Igor Schapiro is a faculty member at the Faculty of Physics, Technical University of Dortmund, where he leads a research group focused on the theoretical and computational description of light-induced processes in condensed matter. His work lies at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and computational science, with applications to natural systems such as solvated molecules and chromophore-protein complexes.

His research interests include:

• Theoretical modeling of excited-state reactions
• Multiscale simulation methods for large systems (thousands of atoms)
• Development of multireference electronic structure methods
• Accurate description of conical intersections and electronic state degeneracies

The group emphasizes both the application of advanced computational tools and the development of new methodologies to better understand critical points in photochemical processes. While no specific publications or awards are listed in the provided text, his work contributes to fundamental advances in computational condensed matter physics and photochemistry.

Prof. Schapiro is supported by a secretariat, and his contact information is publicly available for academic collaboration and inquiry.
