معرفی
Prof. Gunnar Jeschke is a Full Professor in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, ETH Zürich, since April 2008. His research focuses on advanced EPR methodologies and their applications in catalysis, materials science, and biomolecular structure analysis. He leads the Institute of Molecular Physics (Inst. Mol. Phys. Wiss.) and teaches courses such as Physical Chemistry and Advanced Magnetic Resonance. His work bridges fundamental physical chemistry with applied studies in heterogeneous catalysis, environmental chemistry, and biophysical systems.
- Key Research Areas: EPR spectroscopy, catalytic reaction mechanisms, material characterization, and biomolecular dynamics.
- Recent Contributions: Development of real-time EPR techniques for monitoring catalytic reactions, elucidation of active sites in zeolites and single-atom catalysts, and structural studies of proteins in biomolecular condensates.
- Labs/Teams: Head of the Molecular Physics Institute at ETH Zurich, focusing on cutting-edge EPR instrumentation and interdisciplinary collaborations.
His research innovations include the ih-RIDME spectroscopic method for probing heterogeneous environments and advancements in pulsed EPR for studying spin dynamics. Ongoing work emphasizes sustainable energy applications, such as methane-to-methanol conversion and CO2 utilization.
