About

Thomas Heine graduated from TU Dresden (Germany) and, after postdoctoral stages in Bologna (Italy), Exeter (UK) and Dresden became Associated (2008) and Full (2011) Professor of Theoretical Physics/Theoretical Materials Science at Jacobs University Bremen (Germany). From 2015-2018 he was professor of Theoretical Chemistry at the Wilhelm-Ostwald-Institute at Leipzig University (Germany). In 2018 he accepted the Chair of Theoretical Chemistry at TU Dresden. His research interests include the development of methods and software for materials science, molecular framework compounds, 2D inorganic materials and theoretical spectroscopy.
