Sven Doye
Sven Doye (born April 30, 1967 in Berlin ) is a German chemist . He has been Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg since 2006 .
Life
Sven Doye studied chemistry from 1986 to 1990 at the Technical University of Berlin , which he completed in 1990 with a diploma thesis under Ferdinand Bohlmann on the synthesis of a triterpene . His doctoral thesis [topic: "Stereoselective reactions for the synthesis of (-) - Myltaylenol"] he wrote from 1991 to 1993 in Ekkehard Winterfeldt's group at the University of Hanover . From 1994 to 1996 Doye worked as laboratory manager in the ammonia laboratory of the central research of BASF AG in Ludwigshafen. This was followed by a postdoc at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge (USA) with Stephen L. Buchwald (* 1955), before he worked on his habilitation at Leibniz University in Hanover from 1997 to 2001. After completing his habilitation , he was appointed a private lecturer and worked first as a research assistant until 2003, then as a senior assistant at the Institute for Organic Chemistry at the University of Hanover.
After several months as visiting professor in the Department of Chemistry at Cardiff University ( Wales , United Kingdom), he accepted a professorship for organic chemistry at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg in 2003 . Doye was appointed to a professorship for organic chemistry at the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg in 2006 and has worked there ever since.
Doye is married with a daughter and a son.
