Life

Harald Hillebrecht graduated from the Spohn-Gymnasium Ravensburg in 1979 . From 1979 to 1981 he was a contract soldier in Weingarten. He then began studying chemistry at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg in 1981 . In 1984 he was accepted into the German National Academic Foundation. He completed his diploma thesis in 1987 in the working group of Prof. Dr. Gerhard Thiele. He also completed his dissertation on halides and halogenometalates of molybdenum and platinum metals in 1991 with Gerhard Thiele at the Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg.

As a postdoctoral fellow he went to the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart in the working group of Professor Hans Georg von Schnering , where he was employed from 1991 to 1993. His habilitation in inorganic chemistry took place in 1997 at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg .

In 1997 Hillebrecht accepted a professorship for solid-state chemistry at the University of Bonn , which he held until 1999. After a subsequent professorship at the University of Bayreuth from 1999 to 2002, he returned to Freiburg and is currently on the Chair of Solid State Chemistry at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg .

Harald Hillebrecht has been married since 1986 and has 3 children.

research

Hillebrecht's working group conducts research in the field of solid-state chemistry and materials science . The main interest lies in high temperature syntheses, reactivity of metal melts, structure-property relationships, hard materials, intermetallic phases and thermoelectrics .
