Peter Hildebrandt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Hildebrandt (born July 12, 1955 in Warstein ) is a German chemist and professor of physical chemistry at the Technical University of Berlin .

Life

Hildebrandt studied chemistry at the University of Göttingen and received his doctorate in 1985 from the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University , USA, and completed his habilitation in physical chemistry at the University of Essen in 1992 . In 1993 he received a Heisenberg grant. After working as a working group leader at what was then the Institute for Radiation Chemistry in Mülheim an der Ruhr , he became Investigador Coordenador at the ITQB / Universidade Nova de Lisboa in 2001. Since 2002 he has been professor for biophysics and biophysical chemistry at the TU Berlin . He deals with elementary chemical processes of complex biological and chemical systems, in particular electron transfer, interface processes and photo-induced reactions. In 2003 he received a visiting professorship at the ITQB / Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal.

Since 2007 he has been deputy spokesman for the Cluster of Excellence “ Unifying Concepts in Catalysis ” (UniCat). In 2016 he was elected spokesman for the Einstein Center for Catalysis in Berlin.
