Franz Serafin Exner (24 March 1849 – 15 October 1926) was an Austrian physicist and professor at the University of Vienna. He is known for pioneering physical chemistry education in Austria.[1][2][3] The early introduction to university curricula of subjects such as radioactivity, spectroscopy, electrochemistry electricity in the atmosphere, and color theory in Austria are often credited to him.[4][5]

He advised many notable students including Stefan Meyer, Erwin Schrödinger, and Marian Smoluchowski.
