The Chemistry of Metal-Organic Frameworks

Stefan Kaskel is the Head of the Inorganic Chemistry Department at Technical University Dresden, Germany, and Head of the Business Unit Chemical Surface and Reaction Technology at Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology (IWS) in Dresden. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Tübingen, Germany, in 1997. He then was a Feodor Lynen Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at Iowa State University, Ames (USA), working with John D. Corbett (1998 to 2000). He did his habilitation with Ferdi Schüth at the MPI für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim a.d. Ruhr (Germany, 2000 - 2003) and was a group leader at this institute from 2002 to 2004. He was appointed full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the TU Dresden in June 2004. His research is focused on porous and nanostructured materials. He has coordinated the German MOF program from 2008 to 2014, with 36 German MOF groups involved and is Head of the DECHEMA task group on Metal-Organic Frameworks initiating the European MOF Conference Series (EuroMOF). He has authored more than 250 scientific publications and more than 40 patents.
