Rudiger Faust
Rüdiger Faust (born January 22, 1963 in Dortmund ) is a German chemist ( organic chemistry ), nanoscientist and professor at the University of Kassel .
Scientific career
Rüdiger Faust studied chemistry at the Technical University of Dortmund , where he graduated in 1989. He completed his dissertation under Kurt Peter C. Vollhardt at the University of California at Berkeley , USA. The doctorate (Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry, Ph.D. ) Took place in 1993 with a thesis on electronic delocalization in benzene. In 1994 and 1995 he worked as a postdoctoral fellow with François Diederich at the Swiss ETH Zurich . Another postdoctoral period (1996-1998) followed at the Pharmaceutical-Chemical Institute of the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . In 1998 he was appointed Senior Lecturer at the Department of Chemistry at University College London , from where he was appointed to the C4 professorship "Chemistry of Mesoscopic Systems" at the University of Kassel in 2003 .
Research and Teaching
The research team led by Rüdiger Faust at the University of Kassel has a physical-organic orientation and researches possibilities of chemical solar energy conversion with the help of functional organic molecules. The focus is on phthalocyanines and their structural variants as well as organic molecular wires, whose photophysical properties are adapted to the requirements of efficient energy and electron transfer processes using methods from synthetic organic chemistry . From this, the research team develops hybrid systems with potential applications in the areas of dye-sensitized solar cells, photocatalytically active building materials and biosensors.
In teaching, Rüdiger Faust represents the subject of organic chemistry in its entirety in the teaching degree programs as well as in the degree programs Nanostructural Sciences (BSc) and Nanoscience (MSc).
