Klaus R. Liedl PhD

Klaus R. Liedl is a full professor of Theoretical Chemistry and heads the Department of General, Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Innsbruck. He holds degrees in mathematics and chemistry (1989, 1992) and wrote his Ph.D. (1995) about a QM/MM-algorithm allowing a particle to cross the QM/MM-border. He got his tenure (1998) for work on nuclear quantum effects in concerted proton transfer reactions. He obtains degree in-laws (2003) and wrote a juridical science doctorate thesis (2006) about the European Community Patent and Patent Litigation in Europe. His current research focusses on physics-based understanding of biomolecular interfaces like antibodies, allergens, and proteases by computer simulations and quantum mechanics.
