Professor Malte Drescher received his diploma in Physics in 2001 and his Ph.D. degree in solid state physics in 2005 from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. After a postdoctoral stay with Prof. Edgar Groenen, Molecular Physics, University of Leiden, The Netherlands, funded by a DFG research fellowship, he started his own independent research group at the University of Konstanz in 2008 as an Emmy-Noether fellow. In 2014 he became a DFG Heisenberg fellow and was appointed in 2015 as full professor at the University of Konstanz, Germany (Spectroscopy of Complex Systems). Drescher and his group develop and apply electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to investigate structure and dynamics of macromolecules. In 2017, he was awarded with an ERC grant for his research.
