Curriculum Vitae

A. Dieter Schlüter has been full professor of polymer chemistry at the Department of Materials at ETH Zürich since spring 2004.

Born in Germany, he studied chemistry and geophysics at the University of Munich (LMU) and received a doctorate in organic chemistry 1984 with Prof. G. Szeimies. After post-doctoral work with Prof. K. P. C. Vollhardt (UC Berkeley) and Prof. W. J. Feast (U of Durham, England) he joined the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz in 1986, where he concentrated on preparative macromolecular chemistry in the department of Prof. G. Wegner. In 1991 he received habilitation in organic chemistry at the University of Mainz. Shortly thereafter he was awarded the Dozentenstipendium of the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie and was briefly an associate professor at the Polymer Institute of the University of Karlsruhe before accepting a chair professorship (succession Prof. G. Manecke) for organic and macromolecular chemistry at the Free University of Berlin in 1992, where he has been until spring 2004. He was on the executive editorial board of of Wiley-VCHs "Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics" and "Macromolecular Rapid Communications", and has been serving on many committees and councils. Dieter Schlüter is an elected member of the Swiss Academy of Technical Sciences (SATW). His research focusses on polymer synthesis with a visible component from organic and supramolecular chemistry.
