Team

Urs studied chemistry at the Albert-Ludwigs-University in Freiburg, where he completed his doctorate under the supervision of Prof. Bernhard Breit. He then worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the research group of Prof. David Milstein at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel. In 2017, he started his independent research as a Liebig Fellow of the Chemical Industry Fund at the Justus Liebig University Giessen, where he led an Emmy Noether Junior Research Group funded by the German Research Foundation from 2019-2024. In the spring of 2024, Urs completed his habilitation in Giessen and joined the University of Hohenheim, where he has been a full professor of Organic Chemistry since August 2024.

Here you can find Urs' full CV.

His group's research focuses on the computational design and synthesis of novel metal-free systems, in particular frustrated Lewis pairs, for bond activation and catalysis.
