Volker Staemmler
Volker Staemmler (born December 16, 1940 in Breslau ) is a German chemist ( theoretical chemistry ). He is a professor at the Ruhr University in Bochum .
Staemmler studied physics in Göttingen from 1960 with a diploma in 1966 with Werner A. Bingel and his doctorate in 1969. In 1972 he was a post-doctoral student with G. Del Re in Naples and in Göttingen, Karlsruhe (as a research assistant to Werner Kutzelnigg from 1970 to 1973) and in Bochum, where he completed his habilitation in 1975 (quantum chemical absolute calculation of open-shell molecules taking into account the electron correlation in the approximation of the independent electron pairs). In 1976 he was with AD McLean at the IBM research laboratories in San José. In 1980 he became associate professor and full professor for theoretical chemistry in Bochum in 1982 and retired in 2006.
He deals with quantum chemistry and was a member of the SFB Energy States of Small Molecules and Metal-Substrate Interactions in Heterogeneous Catalysis and speaker of the Graduate School Dynamical processes at solid state surfaces .
