Speakers

Sabine Richert is a Professor of Chemistry at the Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany. She studied Chemistry at the TU Graz before joining the group of Prof. E. Vauthey in Geneva, working on femtosecond laser spectroscopy. Her doctorate, was carried out in the group of Prof. C. Timmel at the University of Oxford, where she was introduced to modern pulse EPR techniques. 

Currently, her group is working at the interface between physics, chemistry and materials science, exploring spin communication in photogenerated multi-spin systems for applications in molecular spintronics. She employs different spectroscopic techniques to study the optical and magnetic properties of the species formed after light-excitation and combines the results with insights from quantum chemical calculations. 

She was awarded the Young Investigator Award of the International EPR/ESR Society in 2020 and the prestigious Heinz-Maier-Leibnitz of the German Research Foundation in 2023.
