Stefan Wuttke

Stefan Wuttke was born in 1980 in Guben (Germany) and completed his Diploma in chemistry in 2005 at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in cooperation with the University of Glasgow. He completed his PhD in 2009 with Prof. E. Kemnitz at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. For his postdoctoral research he moved to the Institute Lavoisier de Versailles (Prof. G. Férey and Dr. C. Serre) and Laboratoire Catalyse et Spectrochimie – ENSICAEN (Prof. M. Daturi), supported by a Feodor Lynen grant. Since 2011, Stefan Wuttke has been an independent leader of the research group “Wuttkegroup for Science”, hosted at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Munich (LMU), and at the Center for Nanoscience (CeNS) at the LMU. Currently, he is a Senior Lecturer in the Chemistry School at the University of Lincoln (UK). His principal focus is on the design, synthesis and functionalization of MOFs and their nanometric counterparts to target biomedical applications. At the same time, he intends to establish a basic understanding of the chemical and physical elementary processes involved in the synthesis, functionalization, and application of these hybrid materials.
