Karl Cammann
Karl Cammann (born May 15, 1939 in Düsseldorf ) was Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Münster from 1987 to 2005 .
After an apprenticeship as a chemical laboratory assistant, he completed an apprenticeship as a chemical engineer at the State Engineering School for Mechanical Engineering in Essen, which he completed with a subject-related university entrance qualification. After two years of industrial activity at Beckman Instruments in Munich, he began studying chemistry at the Technical University of Munich, which he completed in 1970 with a diploma thesis on "Photoeffects on the Zn / ZnO system" with Heinz Gerischer .
Cammann received his doctorate in 1975 under Gerhard Ertl (Chemistry Nobel Prize 2007) at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich (LMU) with a thesis on the mode of action of ion-selective electrodes (Dr. rer. Nat.). Until 1979 he was head of the geochemical laboratories of the Mineralogical-Petrographic Institute of the LMU. In 1975 he was a post-doctoral student at the State University of New York at Buffalo and in 1977 at the University of Chicago . In 1979 he became professor for analytical chemistry at the University of Ulm , was visiting professor at the University of Delaware in Newark in 1984/85 , became professor at the Technical University of Munich in 1986 and professor and professor for analytical chemistry in Münster in 1987 (successor to Fritz Umland ). He also headed the Institute for Chemo- and Biosensors (ICB eV) at the University of Münster from 1991 to 2004.
He deals with the development of instruments for analytical chemistry, including spectroscopy in the visible, UV and near infrared, electrochemistry, chromatography, chemical and bio-sensors, trace analysis in environmental chemistry including species analysis, remote monitoring and online monitoring. He holds over 30 patents and has authored or co-authored over 300 publications.
He is the grandson of Gerhard Cammann .
