Prof. Stefan Vogt Geisse

Dr. Vogt Geisse did his undergraduate study at the Pontificia Universidad Católica, where he obtained his Licenciatura degree in the year 2009. He completed his PhD studies in the University of Georgia at the Center of Computational Quantum Chemistry in the year 2013. Afterwards he was awarded a Postdoctoral FONDECYT Fellowship: Elucidating the Polylactide Ring Opening Polymerization Mechanism of Novel Main Group Catalyst, for which he worked at the Pontificia Universidad Católica and University of Göttingen. Dr. Stefan Vogt joined the Department of Physical Chemistry at the University of Concepción in  2017, where he is currently an assistant professor. His research involves utilizing ab initio quantum chemistry for applications in astrochemistry and the catalysis of biodegradable polymer
