Biography

Ferdinand Grozema is a Full Professor at Delft University of Technology, where he leads research at the intersection of molecular electronics, ultrafast spectroscopy, and computational chemistry. His work primarily focuses on understanding the dynamics of charges in excited states, employing ultrafast spectroscopy and microwave conductivity techniques alongside computational methods to explore material synthesis. Grozema's research aims to elucidate the link between the molecular solid-state structure and opto-electronic properties, with applications targeting energy technologies. He has a diverse research portfolio that includes charge transfer in DNA and donor-acceptor systems, charge transport in perovskites and organic semiconductors, single molecule conductance, and the photochemical conversion processes underlying exciton fission. He completed his undergraduate studies in chemistry at the University of Groningen and earned his PhD from Delft University of Technology in 2003, focusing on charge transport in conjugated molecular wires under the supervision of prominent researchers. His academic contributions extend to several editorial and committee roles, including being an Associate Editor for Chemical Physics Reviews and a board member for various scientific bodies.
