Curriculum Vitae

Chair and Professor

Bioinorganic Chemistry and Spectroscopy

Education

Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison

B.S., University of Wisconsin-Madison

Research Interests

My group's research falls within the general field of bio-inspired inorganic chemistry.  The common theme is the synthesis and characterization of inorganic complexes that mimic the structure and/or function of metalloenzymes.  All of our projects are multifaceted, combining inorganic coordination chemistry with mechanistic studies, spectroscopic characterization (UV-vis, EPR, MCD, X-ray absorption, resonance Raman), and computational (DFT) analysis.

Research Areas

  • Bio-inspired inorganic chemistry
  • Synthesis and spectroscopy of inorganic complexes
  • Coordination chemistry

Professional Experience

Professor Fiedler received his Ph.D. degree in inorganic chemistry under the direction of Thomas Brunold at the University at Wisconsin-Madison in 2006. After graduating from Madison, he began an NIH postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Prof. Larry Que, Jr. at the University of Minnesota, where synthesized and characterized high-valent iron complexes with relevance to oxygen activation in biological systems. He joined the faculty at 向日葵视频 in August 2009. Professor Fiedler's research interests are in the area of synthetic bioinorganic chemistry, spectroscopy, and computational methods.  Dr. Fiedler has received external research funding from the NSF and NIH, and currently serves as chairperson of the Chemistry Department.
