Prof. Dominik Eder, FRSC, received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Innsbruck in 2003. In 2005, he joined the University of Cambridge as an Erwin Schrödinger Fellow and established his own research group in 2006 through the APART Fellowship of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. In 2011, he became Junior Professor at the University of Münster, and in 2015, he was appointed Full Professor of Materials Chemistry and Head of the Molecular Materials Chemistry Division at TU Wien.

His research focuses on functional materials for energy and environmental applications, including nanocarbons, 1D/2D inorganic materials, MOFs, COFs, and mesoporous transition metal oxides. His group combines fundamental mechanistic studies for photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and photovoltaics using in-situ and operando spectroscopy with the development of scalable systems, including large-scale reactors. Prof. Eder has published over 160 peer-reviewed articles, holds two patents, and has edited two academic books. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2018 and received the Chang Jiang Scholar Award in 2023.
