Brief Biography Stephan Irle has performed research in quantum chemistry and computational nanomaterials simulations in Germany, Austria, the United States, and Japan. He has become a specialist in the rapidly growing area of quantum chemical molecular dynamics (QM/MD) simulations of complex chemical reaction systems. The study of emergent self-assembly and erosion processes comprises a major part of his research. They are accompanied by complementary studies of chemical reactions and molecular properties, and the development of methodologies for QM/MD simulations. His group is now expanding the application of these methods to the field of excited state chemistry of large molecules, ionic liquids simulations, and transition metal cluster compounds.
