Career
Daniel studied chemistry at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and received his PhD working in the group of Prof. Dr. Dieter Sellmann. Organometallic chemistry and NMR was the focus of his postdoctoral stay with Prof. Dr. Malcolm L. H. Green at the Inorganic Chemistry Lab of the University of Oxford (UK). Subsequently, a research project in protein NMR with Prof. Stephan Grzesiek at the Biozentrum Basel followed. In 2005, Daniel moved to the Department of Chemistry at the University of Basel, completed his habilitation there in 2009 and started his independent research group as a Privatdozent. In 2020, Daniel was appointed to a Titularprofessor in analytical chemistry at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Basel.
