The multi- and interdisciplinary work of her group focuses on the rational design and construction of biomolecular artificial photosynthesis systems, based on photosynthetic metalloenzymes, for renewable chemical production. In parallel, she and her group investigate the molecular basis of adaptation of extremophilic microalgae to harsh environmental conditions (high concentrations of heavy metals, fluctuating light quality and quantity and extremely acidic pH). She has participated in several national and international projects on solar conversion into fuels and chemicals, both as a coordinator or work package leader. She is a member of the SUNERGY Executive Board and was a founding partner of SUNRISE, the two pan-European initiatives on solar fuels and chemicals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

His research activities focus on a quantitative modeling of materials properties and functions. He specifically works on multiscale models that combine predictive-quality first-principles techniques with coarse-grained methodologies and machine learning to achieve microscopic insight into the processes in working catalysts and energy conversion devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karsten did his doctoral studies on theoretical surface physics in Erlangen, Madrid and Milwaukee. Following research experiences at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society (MPG) in Berlin and the FOM Institute in Amsterdam, he headed an independent MPG junior research group. From 2009 he was Chair for Theoretical Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and re-joined Fritz Haber Institute in 2020. He recently held visiting professorships at Stanford (2014), MIT (2018), and Imperial College London (2019), is a distinguished affiliated professor at TUM and honorary professor at the Free University and Humboldt University in Berlin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
