Biography

René Wugt Larsen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research interests focus on non-covalent intermolecular forces, molecular recognition mechanisms, hydrogen bond rearrangements, and dynamics of micro-solvation processes. He utilizes advanced low-temperature infrared and terahertz cluster spectroscopy in conjunction with quantum chemical modeling to describe accurately the properties of macroscopic phenomena in physical and life sciences. His research program involves THz investigations of weakly bound cluster molecules embedded in quantum matrices and high-resolution THz gas phase studies. Dr. Larsen collaborates extensively with the DTU Chemistry research group on the spectroscopic characterization of novel materials, including metal-organic frameworks and organo-metallic pincer complexes. Over the years, he has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications on topics related to non-covalent interactions and has actively participated in various research projects and conferences across the globe.
