Christiane Renate Timmel is a German chemist who is Director of the Centre for Advanced Electron Spin Resonance at the University of Oxford.[2][3] Her group make use of electron-spin resonance to understand long-range structures in chemical and biological systems. Timmel was awarded the Tilden Prize on 2020 by the Royal Society of Chemistry for her contributions to electron spin resonance.
Timmel was born in Saxony, Germany. She has said she was inspired to become a scientist by her parents, a mathematician and a chemist.[4] Timmel studied physical chemistry at TU Dresden. After earning her diploma she moved to the University of Oxford, where she worked in the laboratory of Peter Hore. In 1998 she completed her doctoral degree on the effects of magnetic fields on radical pair reactions.[5]
