Short CV
Prof. Bucher studied Chemistry at TUM, where he earned his M.Sc. degree in 2010. He went on to complete his Ph.D. in Biophysics at LMU, where he utilized ultrafast spectroscopy to study UV-induced damage processes in DNA. With a growing interest in potential applications of quantum technology in Chemistry, he moved to Ronald Walsworth's group at Harvard for his postdoctoral work. In the spring of 2019, he started his independent career as a junior research group leader at TUM. In 2022, he was appointed as a Rudolf Mößbauer Professor.
