Frank Neese

Frank Neese (born 13 December 1967) is a German theoretical chemist at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research.[1]

Professional development

Neese received his PhD at the University of Konstanz under Kroneck. He was a postdoctoral fellow with Edward I. Solomon at Stanford University. He returned to Konstanz where he completed his habilitation. Thereafter he took a staff position at the Max Planck Institute for Bioinorganic Chemistry. He then transferred in 2006 to the University of Bonn as chair of the theoretical chemistry. In 2011 he returned to Mülheim as a director of the renamed Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion. In 2018 he moved to the Mülheim's other Max Planck Institute, Max Planck Institute for Coal Research.

Personal life

Neese was born in 1967 in Wiesbaden. He is married to Serena DeBeer, a spectroscopist who is a director of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion.

Research interests

He is lead author of the ORCA quantum chemistry computer program.[2] His methods have been applied to a range of problems in coordination chemistry, homogeneous catalysis, and bioinorganic chemistry.[3][4]

Recognition

Neese was awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize in 2010. He is a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.[5] He was elected to Leopoldina Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften (German National Academy of Sciences).
