»Learning from nature is what drives me in synthesizing functionalized molecules, which can imitate biological processes like the activation of small molecules, catalysis or putting through of light driven reactions. My focus is on transition metals and their special role in those processes. An important aspect of my research is to prepare and understand those systems on a nano scale.«
