Biography
Leticia González was born in Madrid, Spain and studied chemistry from 1989 to 1994 at the Autonomous University of Madrid. In 1995, she earned her master's degree from King's College London. She returned to Autonomous University of Madrid for her PhD, which she earned in 1998.[3] She then moved to the Free University of Berlin and completed her Habilitation in 2004.[4] In 2007, she was appointed Professor for Theoretical and Physical Chemistry at the University of Jena. In 2011, she became Full Professor for Computational Chemistry, Theoretical Chemistry and Scientific Computing at the University of Vienna.[5]
