from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Kleinermanns (born January 9, 1950 in Cologne ) is a German chemist .

Life

Karl Kleinermanns studied chemistry at RWTH Aachen University from 1968 to 1974 . He received his diploma in theoretical organic chemistry in the field of the Diels-Alder reaction . In 1978 he received his doctorate at the Max Planck Institute in Göttingen. After a scientific assistant in Göttingen in 1979, he was a Post Doc from 1979 to 1980 at the IBM research laboratories in San José, California , USA at AC Luntz. Another phase followed in Göttingen, after which he switched to the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg as a researcher in 1982 , where he stayed until 1986. In 1984 he received the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize of the German Research Foundation (DFG) for his work on chemical reaction dynamics . In 1987 he completed his habilitation in Heidelberg. In 1989, he received a call to the chair of Physical Chemistry at the University of Dusseldorf . He is also the holder of the Chair for Molecular Spectroscopy and Nanosystems at the Institute for Physical Chemistry.

Since 2006 he has been a liaison professor of the “Fonds der Chemischen Industrie” and a member of the “Editorial Advisory Board of CHEMPHYSCHEM - A European Journal of Chemical Physics and Physical Chemistry”. From 2004 to 2008 he was a member of the “Fachkollegiat: Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces; Spectrocopy, Kinetics “of the DFG. From 2007 to 2009 he was a member of the "Panel of the European Research Society". Since 2007 he has been a member of the “Nernst-Haber-Bodenstein” award committee of the German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry. In 2007 he organized the spring conference of the German Physical Society AMOP in Düsseldorf. From 2007 to 2010 he was chairman of the "Molecular Physics" department of the German Physical Society and a member of the board of directors. During the same period, he chaired the Scientific Advisory Board of the Max Born Institute in Berlin.
