Heinrich Lang

Heinrich Lang studied chemistry at the University of Constance, where he graduated in Chemistry (Diploma, 1982; PhD, 1985) under the supervision of G. Huttner. Afterwards he spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow (DFG) at M.I.T. with D. Seyferth. He joined the Faculty at the Ruprecht-Karls-University of Heidelberg in 1988, where he received his Habilitation in 1992.

From 1992 until 1996 he held the position of a Privat-Dozent as a Heisenberg fellow (DFG) at the same University. Since 1996 he has been a full professor (holding the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry) at TU Chemnitz. The call to TU Kaiserslautern in 2003 was not taken. Since 2008 Prof. Lang is Adjunct Faculty of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, U.S.A. He is member of scientific and editorial advisory boards, and has published 790 Peer-reviewed papers and received honors and awards. His Hirsch-Index is 50. Between 2012 - 2016 he has been vice-president of TU Chemnitz for Research and Promotion of Young Scientists. His research interests are in organometallic and metal-organic chemistry, electron transfer studies, 2D-printing, gas-phase deposition processes, and homogeneous catalysis. He is also interested in topics such as hybrid- and nanomaterials including metal and metal oxide nanoparticles and their embedding in polymers and is researching the field of phoryphrins. See less
