Gunnar Jeschke

ETH Zürich

 

Gunnar Jeschke studied chemistry at Technical University Dresden and graduated in 1992 with a thesis on analysis of sideband patterns in 31P solid-state NMR. Further stages were work on magnetic field effects on chemical reactions at RIKEN (Wako-shi, Japan), a doctoral thesis on new concepts in solid-state pulsed EPR (ETH Zürich, Switzerland 1996), solid-state NMR on inorganic materials (University of Bonn, Germany, 1997), and EPR studies on synthetic polymers and membrane proteins at MPI for Polymer Research (Mainz, Germany). Following appointment as full professor for physical chemistry at University of Konstanz (Germany) in 2006, he returned to ETH Zürich in 2008. His research interests range from spin dynamics via EPR instrumentation to biophysics. Application work focuses on RNA-binding proteins and heterogeneous catalysis, while fundamental work focuses on electron spin decoherence due to the nuclear spin bath and ensemble structure determination of partially ordered proteins.
