Müge Kasanmascheff

Müge Kasanmascheff studied at the Middle East Technical University, Ankara/Turkey. She then did her doctorate at the Institute for Physical Chemistry at the Albert-Ludwigs University in Freiburg. Two postdoc stays followed in New Zealand with Prof. Renwick Dobson and at the MPI Göttingen with Prof. Marina Bennati. She also completed a short research stay at MIT with Prof. JoAnne Stubbe. Müge Kasanmascheff has been a professor of physical chemistry at TU Dortmund since 2017. A key motivation of her research is to understand how biological and chemical systems use metals and organic radicals to perform complex oxidative/reductive chemistry. Her group focuses on elucidating the structure, function, and regulation of these systems. To this end, they mainly use advanced EPR spectroscopic methods combined with sophisticated bio-chemical and -physical tools.
