Florian A. Bischoff studied chemistry in Karlsuhe, Germany from 2001 - 2006, and also obtained his theoretical chemistry PhD there in 2009. He moved to Blacksburg, VA as a post-doc until 2012, when he became a staff scientist at Humboldt University in Berlin. He held visiting professor positions at Humboldt University (2018-2021) and at Stony Brook University (2019).

His research interests include the calculation of molecular properties with special interest in the elimination of the finite basis set problem. To that end he develops in close collaboration with IACS the electronic structure code MADNESS that uses wavelets as a basis for the representation of the molecular wave function.
