Dagmar Scharnagel

Dr. Dagmar Scharnagel is a Researcher at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) in Tarragona, Spain, specializing in the development of novel chiral catalysts and enantioselective cyclization reactions within the institute's sustainable catalysis research area.

Education:

• PhD in Chemistry, University of Bayreuth, Germany

Research Interests:

• Chiral Catalysis
• Enantioselective Synthesis
• Organic Synthesis
• Asymmetric Catalysis
• Catalyst Design

Her work focuses on creating stereoselective catalytic systems for complex molecular architectures, with applications in pharmaceutical synthesis and fine chemical production. She investigates cyclization mechanisms to achieve high enantiomeric excess in target molecules.

Funding & Affiliations:

• Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Germany

As part of ICIQ's research staff, she utilizes the institute's advanced Scientific Core Facilities including Chemical Reaction Technologies, High Resolution Mass Spectrometry, and Photophysics Spectroscopy laboratories to advance her catalytic methodologies.
