Jonny Proppe (head of group)
Jonny studied Chemistry at the University of Hamburg and was on an Erasmus research leave at the University of Oslo during the master's program. For his doctorate in Theoretical Chemistry, he joined the group of Prof. Dr. Markus Reiher at ETH Zurich. He was awarded the IBM Research prize 2020 for his doctoral thesis on "Computational Systems Chemistry with Rigorous Uncertainty Quantification". After postdoctoral stays at Harvard University, the University of Toronto, and the University of Göttingen, he was appointed assistant professor of Computational Materials Design at TU Braunschweig in October 2021.

Kerrin Janssen (PhD candidate)
Kerrin studied Chemistry at the University of Hamburg (B.Sc.) and at TU Braunschweig (M.Sc.). She wrote her master thesis "Development of an In Silico Profiler of the Bioactivity of Small Molecules on Proteins Expressed in the Gut" under the supervision of Prof. Johannes Kirchmair at the University of Vienna. She is a PhD student in our team since August 2023. In her research, she develops models to predict the reactivity of N-heterocycles, which constitute a central motif in natural compounds and drugs.
