Simone Techert

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simone Techert (born December 2, 1968 in Gießen ) is a German physical chemist and X-ray physicist .

Career

Techert studied chemistry from 1988 to 1993 at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen , where she graduated in 1994 . She then did her doctorate in 1997 at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen. Her doctoral thesis dealt with the topic “Spectroscopy and Charge Separation. Theoretical and experimental studies on pyrene derivatives ” .

As a scientist, she then worked at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble , until she returned to the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in 2000 as a group leader. There she was head of a Minerva group from 2006 to 2012. In 2004 she also received the license to teach physical chemistry. Since 2008 she has been a lecturer at the International Research School for Molecular Biophysics at the Göttingen Research Campus. In 2013 she became a professor at the Georg-August University in Göttingen with a bridge connection to the Helmholtz Association and the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg. There she is a senior scientist.

Awards

  • 1999: "Prime de Performance" award from the "European Synchrotron Radiation Facility" (ESRF)
  • 2001–2004: Emmy Noether grant from the German Research Foundation
  • 2002–2006: Karl Winnacker Scholarship from the Aventis Foundation
  • 2005: Röntgen Prize from the Liebig University in Giessen for ultrashort dynamics in organic solids with time-resolved X-rays.
  • 2007: Bronze medal of the chemical industry
  • 2013: Morino Lectureship

Research area

Techert conducts research in the field of physical chemistry. She has specialized in time-resolved methods in X-ray physics, time-resolved structure determination and time-resolved spectroscopy. At DESY, she and her working group research the structural dynamics of (bio) chemical systems, in particular the method development of time-resolved X-ray experiments and their application and optimization for the investigation of elementary chemical processes and structure-dynamic relationships in chemical reactions, i.e. the "filming" of chemical reactions Real time. She and her research team succeeded for the first time in using the radiation of a free-electron laser to study chemical reactions. She worked on the experimental recording of hydrogen bridges by a Helmholtz working group.
