Jürgen Hauer

Jürgen Hauer is a Professor at the Technische Universität München (TUM) within the TUM School of Natural Sciences. He leads the Professorship for Dynamic Spectroscopy, focusing on ultrafast chemical processes using femtosecond laser spectroscopy. His work spans energy transfer pathways, photocatalytic reactions, and molecular dynamics across ten timescale orders.

• Research Interests
• Ultrafast energy transfer in photosynthetic systems
• Femtosecond spectroscopy for reaction bottlenecks
• Development of advanced time-resolved methods
• Photochemical kinetic resolution of enantiomers
• Application to sustainable chemistry and catalysis

Recent Publications (2025) highlight innovations in transient absorption anisotropy, Stokes shift dynamics, and FT-IR bacterial analysis. His scientific awards include the FWF's START Prize and Lise Meitner Fellowship. Teaching activities at TUM include courses in Biophysical Chemistry and Experimental Physical Chemistry.
