Joachim Richter (chemist)

Joachim Richter (born December 19, 1937 in Eitorf ) is a German chemist and professor emeritus for physical chemistry at RWTH Aachen University .

life and work

Richter grew up in Mönchengladbach and attended the Odenkirchen grammar school there . He studied chemistry at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel and at the RWTH Aachen, where he received his doctorate in 1967 in Rolf Haase's group . In 1972, Richter completed his habilitation on diffusion in molten salts . In 1980 Richter took over the chair for physical chemistry; In 2002 he retired.

The thermodynamics and transport processes in molten salts and ionic liquids formed a focus of his subsequent scientific work. A second focus was physical chemistry under space conditions. He investigated transport processes under microgravity conditions . For his work in this area was inducted into the International Society of Astronautics in 2002.
