Mathias Wickleder
Mathias Wickleder (* 1965 in Bergen ) is a German chemist. He is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Cologne .
Life
He studied chemistry at the University of Hanover with a degree in chemistry . He then completed his doctoral thesis until 1994 (subject: “Complex halides of lanthanides with sodium and silver: synthesis, crystal structures, ion conductivity”) in Gerd Meyer's group at the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Hanover. In 1994 he became Dr. rer. nat. PhD . In 1994 and 1996 a postdoc at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Bern , Switzerland (Prof. Dr. Hans U. Güdel) followed. Mathias Wickleder then worked at the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Cologne and completed his habilitation there in 2000. His habilitation thesis is entitled "Contributions to crystal chemistry and the thermal behavior of compounds of rare earth elements with complex anions". In 2004 he accepted the professorship for Inorganic Chemistry at the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg , where he worked at the Institute for Chemistry - formerly the Institute for Pure and Applied Chemistry (IRAC) - until March 2015. Mathias Wickleder was Director of the Institute for Pure and Applied Chemistry from 2007 to 2009 and Dean of Studies at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Oldenburg from 2005 to 2009. In 2009, Lower Saxony's Minister of Science Lutz Stratmann appointed Mathias Wickleder as Vice President for Studies and Teaching at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg.
In April 2015, he accepted an appointment at the Justus Liebig University in Gießen, where he worked in research and teaching until he switched to the University of Cologne. Mathias Wickleder has held the chair for solid-state and coordination chemistry at the University of Cologne since April 2017.
Research areas
His research focuses on the chemistry of concentrated acids at high temperatures, new precious metal complexes and the characterization of the catalytic activity of gold and nanoparticles made of precious metals.
Publications and patents
Mathias Wickleder has written around 215 publications in specialist journals and articles in books and is the owner or co-owner of three patents.
