Stefan Schmatz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stefan Schmatz (born August 20, 1968 in Kassel ) is a German physical chemist and theoretical chemist . Since 1999 he has been researching and teaching at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen , since 2006 as an adjunct professor.

Life

After graduating from the Friedrichsgymnasium in Kassel in 1987, Schmatz began studying chemistry in Göttingen two years later , which he completed in 1993 with a diploma under Jürgen Troe . At the same time, he has been studying physics since 1990 and also graduated in this subject in 1995. He received his doctorate in 1997 as a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation for a thesis on "Global potential hypersurfaces and exact density of states of vibration using the example of the cations HN 2 + and HCO + " with Peter Botschwina . nat. PhD. From 1997 to 1999 Schmatz conducted research at University College London with David C. Clary, FRS. He received a research grant from BASF . He then returned to Göttingen to work as a scientific assistant at the Institute for Physical Chemistry. With the thesis “Theoretical Investigations on the Dynamics of Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions” he qualified as a lecturer and acquired the Venia Legendi for the subjects of physical chemistry and theoretical chemistry . In 2006 he was appointed adjunct professor. In 2006 Schmatz began studying mathematics, which he graduated with a diploma in 2009.

Schmatz's main interest is the dynamics of chemical reactions , especially complex-forming bimolecular reactions, which he investigates using quantum mechanical methods. Further research areas are resonances in chemical reactions and statistical methods for calculating molecular parameters. Application- related focal points are organic catalysis as well as organic and inorganic (here in particular in silicon chemistry) reaction mechanisms with several transition states and time - resolved X - ray spectroscopy . Schmatz made important contributions to the elucidation of mode selectivity in complex-forming chemical reactions and advanced the theoretical description of reactions with more than four atoms.

Schmatz dealt with Karl May - especially the bibliography and the history of the work. Together with Wolfgang Hermesmeier , he wrote various monographs for 14 years (from May 2002 to May 2016) for the magazine Karl May & Co.
