Chemistry Department Seminar Series

 

Dr Tobias Krämer completed his PhD at the University of Oxford with Prof. John E. McGrady. His research focused on electronic structure calculations of open-shell transition metal systems related to the bonding in inorganic coordination compounds and clusters.
Subsequently, Dr Tobias joined the group of Prof. Frank Neese as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion in Mülheim/Ruhr (Germany). He studied [NiFe] hydrogenases (enzymes that catalyse the reversible oxidation of molecular hydrogen), and related biomimetic Ni/Fe complexes by means of theoretical spectroscopy. Since then Tobias has worked with various groups in institutes such as Heriot-Watt University, University of Zurich, Center for Molecular Modelling Ghent. Dr Tobias became a lecturer of Inorganic Chemistry at Maynooth University in 2017.
