About

Josef Wachtveitl is a Full Professor for Biophysics and Physical Chemistry (C4) at Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany. His research areas focus on biophysical methodologies and photochemical processes, as evidenced by his recent articles on topics such as activation of photocages using infrared light and the characterization of microbial rhodopsins. He is also exploring the kinetic effects in photocycles and the design of photoswitchable ligands.
