Ullrich Scherf is a German macromolecular chemist and professor at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal .
Life
Ullrich Scherf completed his chemistry studies in 1983 at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena with a diploma. He completed his doctorate in polymer chemistry (also macromolecular chemistry ) in 1988. In the meantime he was doing research at the State University of Tbilisi in 1987 . He then worked until 1989 as a research assistant at the Institute for Animal Physiology of the Saxon Academy of Sciences under Heinz Penzlin . From 1990 to 1992 he was a scholarship holder of the Association of the Chemical Industry at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz under Klaus Müllen . He was then head of the institute until 2000. In 1996, Scherf completed his habilitation in organic chemistry at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz .
In 2000 he became professor for polymer chemistry at the University of Potsdam . In 2002 he accepted a professorship for macromolecular chemistry at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal . In 2006 Scherf organized a summer school at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore . In 2010 he became managing director of the Institute for Polymer Technology at the Bergische Universität. Since 1999 he has also received four other calls, which he did not accept.
In 2011, Scherf was ranked 26th in the global Top 100 Material Scientists ranking by Thomson Reuters . In 2012, a project by Scherfs on research into the stability of organic solar cells, which he carried out in cooperation with the universities of Tübingen, Würzburg and Munich, was named project of the month by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research .
