Cristian A. Strassert

Prof. Cristian A. Strassert is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Münster, leading the Strassert Lab focused on Coordination Chemistry and Functional Imaging. His research integrates synthesis, characterization, and application of luminescent materials, with particular emphasis on transition metal complexes (Pt, Re, Zn) for biomedical and optoelectronic applications. Key areas include photophysics, aggregation-induced emission, and hybrid materials for sensing and imaging.

• Affiliations: CeNTech, CiMIC, SoN Research Centers.
• Collaborations: Global partnerships with institutions like BAM, University of Bielefeld, Tsinghua University, and Ramon Llull University.

Research interests span luminescent probes, nanomaterials, and functional polymers, with over 150 interdisciplinary publications. Notable achievements include the Goldener Brendel Award 2021 from the Chemistry Student Council.

Publications emphasize design of phosphorescent Pt(II) complexes for bioimaging, photocytotoxicity studies, and hybrid nanomaterials. His work bridges chemistry with biomedical and materials science, driving innovations in optical sensors and therapeutic agents.
