Who we are

Leif Hammarström

Leif Hammarström

Director

About: Professor in physical chemistry, at the Department for Chemistry - Ångatröm, Uppsala university. Leif Hammarström leads research in the areas of Artificial Photosynthesis, Electron Transfer, Photochemistry and Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy.

Sascha Ott

Sascha Ott

Chair of the Board

About: Professor in synthetic molecular chemistry at the Department of Chemistry - Ångström, Uppsala university. The research in Sascha Ott's group is centered around molecular catalysts for hydrogen production or carbon dioxide reduction that can be used in artificial photosynthesis. Another research interest is investigating how phosphorus affects organic pi-conjugated systems for the use in molecular electronics.

Ann Magnuson

Ann Magnuson

Vice Chair of the board

About: Associate professor in Molecular Biomimetics at the Department of Chemistry - Ångström, Uppsala University. Her research interests include artificial photosynthesis, including the spectroscopy, protein chemistry, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of photosynthetic proteins and hydrogenase enzymes.

Stenbjörn Styring

Stenbjörn Styring

Founder

About: Professor emeritus in Molecular Biomimetics at the Department of Chemistry - Ångström, Uppsala university. His research on photosynthesis deals with the mechanism of the oxygen evolving complex in Photosystem II. In artificial photosynthesis he focuses on transition metal complexes for water oxidation. Stenbjörn Styring is the former chairman of CAP.
