Gunnar Jeschke graduated from TUD Dresden University of Technology, Germany, with a diploma thesis in the field of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and obtained a doctoral degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich in 1996 with a thesis on electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. After working with NMR spectroscopy on inorganic materials at the University of Bonn and with EPR spectroscopy on synthetic polymers and membrane proteins at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, he became a full professor of physical chemistry at the University of Konstanz in 2006 and at ETH Zurich in 2008. His interests range from spin quantum phenomena via heterogeneous catalysis to disorder phenomena in proteins.
