University of Muenster

43,000 students and 7,750 employees in teaching, research and administration, all working together to shape perspectives for the future – that is the University of Münster. Embedded in the vibrant atmosphere of Münster with its high standard of living, the University’s diverse research profile and attractive study programmes draw students and researchers throughout Germany and from around the world.

We are a team of highly motivated young chemists trying to make a difference: CATALYSIS is a green key technology and the FUNCTIONAL MOLECULES we make have an impact in diverse areas of science and society. Our research is driven by the desire to save valuable natural resources as well as by the need for compounds with high levels of (enantio)selectivity and purity. Our research should facilitate and make significant contributions to the synthesis of important organic molecules like heterocyclic and natural products and to make these processes more environmentally benign. Rational design, serendipitous findings and smart screening strategies, but also data-driven modelling are characteristic for our work. In addition, we believe that Germany and Europe need AUFBRUCHSTIMMUNG and OPTIMISM! Let's go for it!
