Life
Richard Lorenz first studied medicine and then chemistry in Vienna. Some time later he moved to Jena , where he wrote his dissertation on the knowledge of the valence of boron in 1888 . After that, Lorenz held a position as an assistant at the biological institute at Rostock University . He later went to Göttingen , where he completed his habilitation in 1892. There his work concentrated more and more on physical chemistry .
In 1896, Richard Lorenz accepted an appointment as associate professor for electrochemistry at the ETH Zurich , where he was appointed full professor the following year. In 1910 he went to the Frankfurt Academy. After the university was founded in 1914, Lorenz was a full professor of physical chemistry. He worked at this university until his death. In 1921 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences .
