Stefan Stoll to join faculty

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Stefan Stoll to the Department of Chemistry. Dr. Stoll is a world-leading expert in the field of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.

Dr. Stoll obtained a degree in Chemical Engineering from the Technical University Graz, Austria, and then earned his Ph.D. in 2003 under the direction of Arthur Schweiger at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Dr. Stoll is currently a postdoctoral research associate with R. David Britt at the University of California Davis, where he is investigating the mechanisms and active-site structures of radical enzymes and redox proteins using EPR.

Dr. Stoll will begin his research activities here in August. He will focus on elucidating the electronic and geometric structure of spin centers in metallo- and radical proteins, on understanding the structure of spin centers in a variety of materials, and on developing EPR methods with ever increasing sensitivity and resolution.

For more information, please contact him directly via email at stoll@chem.washington.edu.
