Holding the Chair of Bioinorganic Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University since 2015, this dedicated chemist has made significant strides in the realm of science, having studied at Paderborn, Germany, and Montpellier, France. Her impressive academic journey took her through a PhD at Paderborn (2005), Postdoc stint at Stanford University, and habilitation at TU Dortmund, culminating in her appointment as associate professor for coordination chemistry at LMU Munich.
Recognized with the Innovation Prize of Northrhine-Westphalia and the Arnold-Sommerfeld Prize from the Bavarian Academy of Arts and Sciences, this accomplished scientist has authored over 200 original papers and 4 patents in the fields of bioinorganic chemistry and sustainable polymerization chemistry. Her expertise even earned her a role as a speaker for the interdisciplinary DFG research group BioCTDyn working on charge-transfer states of metal complexes from 2014 to 2017. From 2015 to 2018, she was a member of the MaSi project, a DFG-funded project focusing on metadata in applied sciences. Her deep interest in metadata led to various research collaborations in data management.
Since 2020, she has been co-speaker of our consortium, overseeing the Community and Training area. Recently, she was granted a Momentum project from the Volkswagen Stiftung for sustainable machine learning applications in chemistry. Besides heading the Chemistry department at RWTH Aachen University, she is also a member of the university's strategy board.
Our NMR Specialist
Johannes Liermann, a seasoned chemist, earned his doctorate on the structure elucidation of fungal metabolites under the guidance of Till Opatz. Since 2011, he has been the head of the routine NMR spectroscopy lab at the Department of Chemistry of Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz. His passion for the digitization of analytical data and metadata has been evident for years. He has been an active board member of the GDCh Magnetic Resonance group since 2017.
As he delved into the world of digitalization, Johannes joined numerous initiatives, such as the DFG-funded community project IDNMR, striving to elevate the quality of published NMR data through digitalization of the entire workflow from acquisition to publication. In this project, he played a crucial role in developing the browser-based NMR analysis application NMRium.
While our resources do not explicitly identify the head of the Chemistry department at RWTH Aachen University currently involved in sustainable machine learning applications, further investigation or reaching out to the university can help secure more specific details on this subject. However, the information provided here offers a comprehensive overview of our key personnel's diverse backgrounds, expertise, and significant contributions to their respective fields.
