Arnulf Materny

Prof. Arnulf Materny is a Full Professor of Chemical Physics at the School of Science, Constructor University in Bremen, Germany. His research focuses on laser spectroscopy techniques (Raman, femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy) applied to molecular dynamics, material characterization, and energy systems. He holds editorial roles in J. Raman Spectroscopy and Asian Chem. Lett., and has led international research initiatives such as the EU-funded ECONOS conference. His academic career includes roles at Jacobs University and a Heisenberg Fellowship from the DFG.

• Education: PhD (summa cum laude) from University of Würzburg (1992), State Doctorate (Habilitation) 1998
• Research Interests: Raman spectroscopy for biomaterials, SERS for environmental analysis, ultrafast energy transfer in photosynthetic systems, and nanomaterials for solar energy

Key awards include the World Innovation Foundation Fellowship and a Visiting Professorship at Wuhan University. His lab (Research III, Room 60) collaborates globally, focusing on ionic liquids, biofilm analysis, and semiconductor nanostructures. Students under his supervision include Ayush Kant Ranga and Alireza Mazaheri Tehrani.

Publications span 239 peer-reviewed articles in journals like Chem. Phys. Chem. and Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., emphasizing spectroscopic innovations and material science applications.
