Prof. Frank Ortmann's research focuses on theoretical modeling of excited states and time dynamics in quantum theory, particularly through ab initio methods. His work has substantially advanced the understanding of electron spin transport and optical spectroscopy, with a primary focus on excitonic effects and electron-phonon interactions. Typical material systems investigated include small molecules, polymers, organic photovoltaic blends, and novel 2D materials. Prof. Ortmann completed his physics doctorate with 'summa cum laude' honors at Friedrich Schiller University Jena in 2009, after which he undertook postdoctoral research at CEA Grenoble, where he was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship in 2010. Subsequently, he joined ICN2 in Barcelona and later TU Dresden, where he established an Emmy Noether Young Investigator Group in 2014. In 2017, he became a group leader in the Cluster of Excellence cfaed at TU Dresden before being appointed to his current professorship in Theoretical Methods Spectroscopy at the Technical University of Munich in 2020.
