Marcus Boeckmann

Dr. Marcus Boeckmann is a researcher at the Institute of Solid State Theory within the University of Münster, Germany. His work focuses on photochemistry, molecular dynamics, and computational chemistry of azobenzene-based photoswitches and quantum-materials. He is part of the Doltsinis AG research group.

• Research Themes:
  • Photoisomerization dynamics in organic systems
  • Multiscale simulations of light-responsive materials
  • QM/MM hybrid approaches for excited state modeling
  • Surface functionalization for switchable wettability
  • Photomigration mechanisms in polymers
  • Optoelectronic molecular devices

His publication trends (2015-2023) emphasize computational and experimental studies of photoswitchable molecules like arylazopyrazoles, with applications in nanotechnology and smart materials. Key methodologies include molecular dynamics, ab initio simulations, and UV/vis spectroscopy.

Dr. Boeckmann collaborates closely with the Doltsinis AG group and has contributed to understanding azobenzene derivatives, helical foldamers, and optoelectronic molecular switches. No scientific awards or teaching roles are mentioned in the provided text.
