Viktoria Hildegard Däschlein-Gessner (* 1982 in Würzburg ) is a German chemist and has been a professor of inorganic chemistry at the Ruhr University Bochum since 2017 .

Life

Viktoria Däschlein-Gessner began studying chemistry in 2002 at the Philipps University of Marburg , but after a few years she moved to the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg , where she received her diploma in 2007 after completing her diploma thesis in Carsten Strohmann's group . In 2009 she did her doctorate in the same working group at the Technical University of Dortmund on organolithium compounds . This was followed by a postdoc at the University of California, Berkeley with Don Tilley until she returned to the Julius Maximilians University in Würzburg for another postdoc with Holger Braunschweig in 2011. There she opened her own research group the following year, funded by the Emmy Noether Program of the German Research Foundation, and completed her habilitation in 2015 under her mentor Holger Braunschweig. In 2016, she accepted a professorship for Inorganic Chemistry II at the Ruhr University in Bochum, initially funded by a Starting Grant from the European Research Council.

Research areas

Viktoria Däschlein-Gessner's research focuses on the synthesis of novel ylides , carbenoids and methandiide-based carbenes as well as their complexes and applications in catalysis .
