Biography
Ph.D., ETH Zürich (Switzerland), 2003
B.Eng. and M.Eng, University of Technology, Graz (Austria), 1998
Stefan grew up in South Tyrol in the north of Italy. He studied chemical engineering at University of Technology Graz (Austria), at the same time earning a degree in performing arts from University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. He received a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from ETH Zürich (Switzerland), working in the group of Arthur Schweiger on computational methods for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. As a postdoctoral research with R. David Britt at University of California Davis, he applied EPR spectroscopy to study the structure and catalytic mechanisms of metalloenzymes. Stefan joined UW in 2011. Outside of work, he enjoys hiking in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest and playing flute.
