Kasper S. Pedersen is Full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry at the Technical University of Denmark. He is the group leader of the research group on molecule-based materials and the director of the DTU Electron Crystallography Facility.

His research has recently been recognized by the Olivier Kahn International Award & Medal 2024, the Bjerrum-Brønsted Lang Lectureship 2024, the Torkil Holm Prize 2022, and the Kirstine Meyer Memorial Award 2021. In addition, he has received several funding awards, for instance, the VILLUM Young Investigator+ (2022), Carlsberg Foundation Young Researcher Fellow (2021), Sapere Aude: DFF-Research Leader (2020), VILLUM Young Investigator (2017).

Mini-CV

He was born in Allerød, Denmark, and received his PhD from the University of Copenhagen in 2014. After postdoctoral stints in Bordeaux and Montreal, he joined the faculty at the Technical University of Denmark in 2017, and was appointed full professor in 2022. His research spans synthetic and structural inorganic chemistry as well as advanced properties characterization. His current focus is directed toward the discovery of novel metal-organic framework materials with hitherto unknown structural and physical properties, and the development of the field of low/zero-valent metal cluster-based MOFs and the application of 3D electron diffraction techniques.
