Gregor Fels

Gregor Fels (* 1946 ) is a German chemist ( organic chemistry ).

Life

Fels studied chemical engineering and chemistry at the University of Münster and received his doctorate there in 1977 with a dissertation on natural product chemistry. As a post-doctoral student , he spent a year and a half at the University of California, Berkeley and then until 1986 was part of an interdisciplinary research group at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Physiology in Dortmund, which researched the intercellular communication of acetylcholine receptors (with Alzheimer's disease as the background ). He then worked for WASAG in industry (explosives production), most recently as authorized signatory and production manager. In 1993 he became professor for organic chemistry in Paderborn.

He dealt with the ecology of old armaments and the function of biological macromolecules and the control of molecular processes. He used computer-aided methods of molecular modeling , QM / MM (combined quantum mechanical / molecular mechanical processes) and molecular dynamics in connection with experimental work.

Fels also dealt with multimedia methods, interactive methods in lectures and e-learning in chemistry education.

From 1993 until his retirement in 2011 he was Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Paderborn.

As the foreign representative of the chemistry department in Paderborn, he organized the cooperation with the Qingdao University of Science and Technology.
