Carsten Strohmann began studying chemistry in 1982 at the Technical University of Braunschweig and received his doctorate in 1990 in Reinhold Tacke's group at the University of Karlsruhe on organic silicon and germanium compounds. This was followed by a postdoc stay at MIT in Dietmar Seyferth's group on polysilazane polymers and SiC / SiN ceramics until 1991 , until he began his habilitation at Saarbrücken University in 1992 and completed it there in 1995. In 1998 he became a private lecturer at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg . In 2002, at the invitation of Bernhard Keppler, he visited the University of Vienna for a visiting professorship .
