Dr. Frese graduated in experimental physics at the University of Amsterdam in 1995. Since, he has researched natural photosynthesis on the molecular and supramolecular level. Recently he has gained major funding from the Dutch science organization NWO for his research on ‘Nanoscale Photovoltaics and Photochemistry on Biosolar Cells’. His current research aims at the understanding of photosynthesis at the supramolecular level, to implement photosynthetic molecular bio-polymers in hybrid solar cells and to mimic photosynthesis using synthetic molecular compounds. The goal is to enhance or redirect photosynthetic performance and to create solar-to-fuel energy cells.
