Kuntal Chatterjee
I am a postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA. My expertise includes various spectroscopic (time-resolved and steady-state IR, UV-Vis, table top, synchrotron, and XFEL), mass spectrometric (TOF, quadrupole, ion traps), diffraction techniques, and ab initio calculations to probe structure, solvation and dynamics of biomolecules, aromatic hydrocarbons, and artificial photosynthetic molecules.
Stephan E Wolf
Dr. Stephan E. Wolf received his doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) in inorganic chemistry from Johannes-Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany (2009). In 2020, after accomplishing a junior professorship, he received his Venia legendi (Priv.-Doz.) from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU, Germany).
He holds a Heisenberg Fellowship granted by the German Research Foundation and leads a research group on bioinorganic and bioinspired materials chemistry at the Department of Materials Science of FAU. His research revolves around the biosynthesis and process-structure-property relationships of biological materials, the underlying physicochemical intricacies of phase separation, and the translative adaptation of these concepts towards novel approaches in bioinorganic solid-state chemistry.
