BiographyPeter Dinér is Professor in Organic Chemistry at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Head of the Department of Chemistry. He earned his M.Sc. in Chemistry at the University of Gothenburg in 1999 and completed his Ph.D. there in 2005 under Professor Per Ahlberg, focusing on mechanistic studies in organic chemistry. He carried out postdoctoral research at Aarhus University with Prof. Jørgensen, working on asymmetric organocatalysis, and later at the Gothenburg University with Assoc. Prof. Grøtli, focusing on kinase inhibitor design and synthesis. In 2010, he received a Swedish Research Council Junior Researcher grant and became Asst. Prof. He was appointed Assoc. Prof. and Docent in Organic Chemistry in 2013, Head of the Division of Organic Chemistry in 2015, promoted to Professor in 2021, and appointed Head of the Department of Chemistry in 2025. |
