Carl Henrik Gørbitz received his PhD-degree from the University of Oslo in 1990. After a post.doc. appointment with Professor Margaret C. Etter at the University of Minnesota, he returned to the Department of Chemistry in Oslo where he obtained a staff position in structural chemistry in 1992 and was promoted to Full Professor in 1996. He has published about 150 scientific papers in three categories: 1) protein structures, 2) amino acids, peptides and their complexes, and 3) crystal engineering efforts using other types of molecules. In addition to single crystal X-ray diffraction, experimental methods have involved powder XRD and NMR-investigations, supplemented by a spectrum of theoretical methods. As the head of studies at his department from 2001 to 2013, and also as a lecturer at the bachelor, master and PhD-levels, Professor Gørbitz has developed a keen interest in learning theory and the integration of digital tools in teaching and assessment.
