Education and professional life
Marian studied chemistry in Cologne and Bonn.[1] She finished her doctorate in Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Bonn under the supervision of Sigrid D. Peyerimhoff in 1980.[1] She did a postdoc in the Theoretical Physics Department of Stockholm University (Sweden) in the group of Per E. M. Siegbahn.[4] She completed her habilitation at the University of Bonn in 1991.[1] In 2001, she joined the University of Düsseldorf as a full professor.[1][5] Between 2011 and 2015, she was Dean of the Mathematical and Natural Science Faculty at the University of Düsseldorf.[4]
Personal life
She has two daughters.[2]
Research
Her research focuses on the development and application of theoretical and computational excited-state electronic structure methods – also for biomolecules.[4][6] She also worked on spin-orbit coupling in molecules.[6]
