Biography

Ulrich S. Schubert was born in Tübingen in 1969. He studied chemistry at the Universities of Frankfurt and Bayreuth (both Germany) and the Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond (USA). His Ph.D. work was performed under the supervision of Professor Eisenbach (Bayreuth, Germany) and Professor Newkome (Florida, USA). In 1995 he obtained his doctorate with Prof. Eisenbach. After a postdoctoral training with Professor Lehn at the Université Strasbourg (France) he moved to the Technische Universität München (Germany) to obtain his habilitation in 1999 (with Professor Nuyken). From 1999 to spring 2000 he held a temporal position as a professor at the Center for NanoScience at the Technische Universität München (Germany). Since Summer 2000 he is Full-Professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology. His Awards include the Bayerischen Habilitations-Förderpreis, the Habilitandenpreis of the GDCh (Fachgruppe Makromolekulare Chemie), the Heisenberg-Stipendium of the DFG, the Dozenten-Stipendium of the Fonds der Chemische Industrie and the VICI award of NWO. The major focus of the research interest of his relates to heterocyclic chemistry, supramolecular materials, surface chemistry, nanoscience and tailor-made macromolecules.
