Prof. Christopher Stein specializes in Theoretical Chemistry, focusing on (electro-)catalytic processes and methodology. He conducts research to understand and optimize these processes through electronic structure models and exploratory calculations. His group has developed solvation embedding models that allow for accurate environmental descriptions. His work emphasizes the identification of relevant catalyst structures using advanced simulation techniques. He studied chemistry at Georg-August University Göttingen and completed his PhD in theoretical chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Markus Reiher at ETH Zürich in 2017. Afterward, he joined the research group of Prof. Martin Head-Gordon at UC Berkeley before starting his independent research group, “Computational Science Interfaces,” in theoretical physics at the University Duisburg-Essen in 2021. In 2022, he was appointed Associate Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich.
