Alex Plajer

Alex Plajer is a Junior Research Group Leader and Subproject Leader (C7) in the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1349 "Fluorine-Specific Interactions: Fundamentals and Applications" at Freie Universität Berlin, Institute of Chemistry and Biochemistry. He also serves as Deputy Spokesperson of the Integrated Research Training Group (MGK) and contributes to the scientific coordination and management of the CRC 1349.

His research focuses on fluorine-specific interactions, a specialized area within chemistry and biochemistry with applications in materials science and molecular design. His work lies at the intersection of synthetic, physical, and bioorganic chemistry, aiming to understand and exploit the unique properties of fluorine in molecular systems.

The research conducted under CRC 1349 spans fundamental mechanistic studies to applied materials development. Although no individual publications are listed, the thematic focus of the center suggests strong engagement in areas such as molecular recognition, supramolecular chemistry, and functional materials involving fluorinated compounds.

Dr. Plajer plays a key role in training and mentoring young researchers through his leadership in the MGK. While no specific grants or advising details are mentioned, his leadership roles suggest active involvement in research supervision and collaborative projects within the CRC framework.

He is part of a large interdisciplinary team within CRC 1349, which includes researchers from various subprojects working on different aspects of fluorine chemistry. The center supports collaborative efforts through workshops, schools, and symposia, fostering a dynamic research environment.
