From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lorenz S. Cederbaum (born 26 October 1946 in Braunschweig, Germany) is a German physical chemist.
He studied physics at LMU Munich and obtained his diploma in 1970, his Ph.D. in 1972 under Georg Hohlneicher, and habilitation in 1976. He was professor at the University of Freiburg before becoming professor for theoretical chemistry at Heidelberg University in 1979.
Cederbaum is member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science and the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.
