WH Eugen Schwarz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

WH Eugen Schwarz (born December 30, 1937 in Guben ) is a German chemist ( theoretical chemistry ). He is a professor emeritus at the University of Siegen .

Life

From 1956, Schwarz studied chemistry, physics and philosophy in Hamburg, Freiburg im Breisgau and Frankfurt am Main. In 1965 he received his diploma in Hamburg from Adolf Knappwost (with an experimental work) and in 1969 he received his doctorate from Hermann Hartmann (investigations on the pseudopotential method). He then worked as an assistant in theoretical chemistry to Karl Heinz Hansen in Bonn, where he completed his habilitation in 1973 (X-ray absorption spectroscopy on free molecules) and was then a private lecturer and, from 1975, an associate professor. In 1976 he became a professor in Siegen. In 2003 he retired.

He was visiting professor at the Tsing Hua National University in Taiwan (1981), at the Free University of Amsterdam (1987), at the East China Normal University in Shanghai (1987), at the Tsinghua University in Beijing (from 2009) and 2001 until 2004 at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Technology (SJTU) in China. He was also visiting researcher at the Ames Laboratory at Iowa State University with Klaus Ruedenberg , at Nagoya University and at the University of Toruń.

He deals with pseudopotentials , relativistic quantum chemistry, density functional theory , electron density distribution in molecules, inner-shell excitations in atoms, basic chemical concepts and the history and philosophy of chemistry.

Since 1957 he has been a member of the Corps Thuringia Jena .
