Hans Martin Senn obtained his undergraduate and PhD degrees in Chemistry from ETH Zürich. For his undergraduate thesis project in 1996/97, he went to Imperial College, London, where he was supervised by Mike Mingos, who got him into (EHT and DFT) calculations. Back in Switzerland, he did his PhD with Antonio Togni at ETH and Peter Blöchl at the IBM Zürich Research Centre. After a first postdoc with Tom Ziegler in Calgary, he worked in Walter Thiel's group at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research in Mülheim an der Ruhr (Germany). Since 2007, he has been a lecturer in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry at the University of Glasgow (UK).
