Max von Delius is Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the University of Ulm. He studied chemistry at Friedrich-Alexander University (FAU) in Erlangen and at Louis-Pasteur University in Strasbourg (France). He obtained his PhD from the University of Edinburgh (Scotland) and was a Leopoldina postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto (Canada). In 2018, Max was awarded the Hoechst Dozentenpreis and from July 2019 his research activities are supported by the European Research Council (ERC starting grant).
Our research activities are positioned at the interface of systems chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and the synthesis of functional organic materials. One unifying goal of my team is to achieve supramolecular control over important processes such as (dissipative) self-assembly, selective functionalization reactions, (auto)catalysis and charge transfer. A second unifying goal is to expand the toolbox of systems and materials chemistry by developing original chemistry, wherever it is possible.
Coworkers in the Delius group will be trained in all aspects of synthetic organic chemistry , supramolecular chemistry, including a wide range of analytical tools.
