The Founders of TURBOMOLE GmbH
|
Prof. Dr. Reinhart Ahlrichs |
 CV: Reinhart Ahlrichs studied Physics at the University of Goettingen (Diplom (M.Sc.) in 1965) and received his PhD in 1968 with W. A. Bingel. From 1968-69 he was assistant at Goettingen with Werner Kutzelnigg and from 1969-70 Postdoctoral Fellow with C. C. J. Roothaan at the University of Chicago. After a period as assistant from 1970-75 in Karlsruhe he has been Professor of Theoretical chemistry at the University of Karlsruhe since 1975. He also heads a research group at the Institute for Nanotechnology (INT) of Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe.
His group has initiated the development of the TURBOMOLE program among other things. |

Prof. Dr. Christof Hättig |
 CV: Christof Hättig studied chemistry (19987-1992) at the University in Bonn, Germany. He joint in 1992 the research group of B. Hess, with whom he received in 1992 his Diplom (M.Sc.) and in 1995 his Dr. rer. nat. (Ph.D). In 1996 he moved to Aarhus (Denmark) to join the quantum chemistry group of P. Jørgensen as postdoctoral fellow (1996) and assitant research professor (Marie Curie fellow, 1997--1999). In 1999 returned to Germany as research associate in the group of R. Ahlrichs at the Institute of Nanotechnology (Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe), where he became shortly after a young scientist group leader . He obtained his habilitation from the University of Kalrlsruhe (TH) in 2003 and received in 2004 the Hans G.A. Hellmann prize. Since 2006 he holds a position as associate professor at the Ruhr-Univesity Bochum. Research Interests: coupled-cluster response theory, electronically excited states, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, correlated methods for large systems, intermolecular interactions, non-linear optical properties. |

 CEO, TURBOMOLE GmbH CV: Marek Sierka studied chemistry and physics at the Jagellonian University, Cracow, Poland (1991-1994); Bergen University, Bergen, Norway (1994-1995); Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany (1995-1996). He received his Diplom (M.Sc.) in 1996. Afterwards he joined the quantum chemistry research group at the Humboldt University in Berlin where he received his PhD in 2001 with Joachim Sauer. For his PhD thesis he received the Humboldt (2001) and Joachim Tiburtius (2001) prize. From 2001-2004 he was postdoctoral fellow with Reinhart Ahlrichs at the University of Karlsruhe. In 2004 he returned to Berlin and currently holds a permanent position as a research associate at the Humboldt University. Research interests: DFT methods for extended (periodic) systems, global and local optimization algorithms for clusters and surfaces, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis. |

 CEO, TURBOMOLE GmbH CV: Florian Weigend studied Physics in Karlsruhe, received his Diplom in 1995. He turned towards theoretical chemistry and got his PhD in 1999 with R. Ahlrichs (development of RI-MP2). Afterwards he joined the Institute for Nanotechnology of Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. Current interests are development of basis sets and RI methods as well as application to clusters in physical and inorganic chemistry. |
