Karin Wichmann, Ph.D., is Application Manager in the solvation chemistry team at BIOVIA, Dassault Systèmes. She has more than sixteen years of experience in COSMO-RS and its applications in various areas including reaction modeling and drug development. Her ambition is to make expert knowledge and methods available to the broader scientific community. Karin obtained her Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry at the University of Marburg, Germany, working on model systems for enzymatic reaction mechanisms
Johannes SCHWÖEBEL, Ph.D., is involved in the development of computational methods in solvation chemistry at BIOVIA. His research interests are the prediction of thermodynamic properties by the COSMO-RS theory and its extensions to surfactants and microemulsion systems. His professional expertise includes quantum chemistry, cheminformatics and software development for material and life science.
His doctoral (Theoretical and Environmental Chemistry, UFZ, Leipzig, Germany) and postdoctoral (Chemoinformatics Group, LJMU, Liverpool, UK) research experience led him to work in the field of informatics solutions for safer and cheaper new compounds by linking chemical structure to Physico-chemical properties, and their applications in drug design and development, consumer goods, and computational toxicology.
