معرفی
Samuel De Visser is a Professor (Reader) in the Academic & Research division at the University of Manchester, affiliated with the Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocenter (MIB) and the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology. His research focuses on enzymatic catalytic mechanisms, particularly oxidative reactions in heme and nonheme enzymes, using computational methods like density functional theory (DFT) and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM). Recent work includes studies on cytochrome P450 enzymes, nitric oxide synthases, and alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent halogenases.
- Conducts research on enzyme reactivity patterns and biomimetic catalysts.
- Active in areas such as CO2 capture, green chemistry, and pollutant degradation.
- Recipient of the 2012 Fellowship of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
He supervises research students and contributes to interdisciplinary platforms like the Digital Futures initiative. Recent activities include invited talks at Xiamen University and advisory roles at the Max Planck Institute Magdeburg.
