Susanne Leitherer

Susanne Leitherer serves as an Assistant Professor within the Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, conducting interdisciplinary research at the nexus of chemistry, physics, and nanotechnology from her office at Universitetsparken 5 (2100 København Ø).

Her research program focuses on molecular-scale electronic phenomena, with core thrusts including:

• Design and characterization of molecular conductors for next-generation nanoelectronic devices
• Electromigration dynamics in graphene-based nanostructures under high current
• Development of cross-disciplinary data analysis frameworks for single-molecule measurements
• Electric field manipulation of molecular transformations in biomimetic environments

This work establishes her as a key contributor to fundamental charge transport mechanisms at the nanoscale.

Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals a consistent trajectory in quantum transport through carbon-based molecular systems, characterized by rigorous integration of theoretical modeling with experimental validation. Publications in premier journals like the Journal of the American Chemical Society and Physical Review B highlight her innovative approach—exemplified by adapting econometric change-point detection for molecular conductance analysis—which addresses critical measurement challenges in nanoscale electronics through unconventional methodological borrowing.
