Mr. Lechner’s research explores the interplay of protonation and Jahn-Teller effects in catalytic systems, particularly in contexts like water oxidation and ammonia production. His recent work involves atomistic modeling of photocatalytic mechanisms in materials such as MIL-101(Fe).

Key trends in his publications include theoretical investigations into transition-metal complexes and their catalytic behavior, emphasizing the role of structural distortions and electronic effects. His activities since 2024 highlight active participation in scientific conferences, including both oral presentations and poster sessions.
