Welcome to the homepage of Jörg Matysik.  I am scientist at the Institute of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Leipzig. The University of Leipzig was founded in 1409 and has a remarkable history in the natural sciences. 

My research group aims for understanding the spin- and photochemistry  of natural and artificial photosynthetic systems, of photoreceptors and materials as well as for development and application of optical NMR methods. Furthermore, being aware of the rising global problem of microplastics, we identify, analyse and optimise enzymes able to degenerate PET.
