Markus Reiher

Markus Reiher is a Full Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, ETH Zurich, where he leads a research group focused on theoretical chemistry since 2006. His work bridges quantum mechanics and computational chemistry, emphasizing electronic structure theory and algorithm development for chemical reaction exploration.

• BSc in Chemistry (University of Bielefeld, 1995)
• PhD in Chemistry (University of Bielefeld, 1998)
• Habilitation in Chemistry (University of Erlangen, 2002)

His research spans quantum computing applications in chemistry, machine learning potentials, and advanced methods for reaction networks. Recent publications highlight quantum-classical hybrid models, vibronic structure simulations, and solvent effects in chemical processes.

Scientific awards include the ADUC Annual Prize (2004), Emmy Noether Habilitation Award (2003), Golden Owl Award for Teaching (2010), Löwdin Lecture (2018), and Heilbronn-Hückel Lectureship (2023). He was elected to the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science in 2022.
