Biography

Ann Magnuson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Uppsala University and the director of PhD studies in her field. With extensive experience in artificial photosynthesis and energy production, she serves as the vice-chair of the Swedish Consortium for Artificial Photosynthesis since 2021. Her research explores crucial processes in photosynthesis and electron transfer reactions, specifically in redox tuning of electron transfer proteins and hydrogenase enzymes. Ann earned her Ph.D. in biochemistry from Lund University in 1998 and has contributed significantly to the field by investigating biomimetic manganese complexes using EPR spectroscopy coupled with laser flash photolysis. In 2004, she joined Uppsala University where she initiated research projects focused on bioenergetics in cyanobacteria. Ann's collaborations extend to various expert commissions for organizations such as the U.S. Department of Energy and the European Commission, and she is actively involved in EU-funded projects aiming to facilitate large-scale initiatives for solar fuels and chemicals.
