معرفی
Lukas J. Gooßen is a Professor at the Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Ruhr University Bochum, where he holds the chair for Organic Chemistry I. His research group operates from room NC 2/170 with contact details including phone +49 234 3223218 and email lukas.goossen@rub.de.
Prof. Gooßen's research focuses on developing straightforward transition-metal-catalyzed reactions as alternatives to laborious multi-step transformations in organic synthesis. His group addresses the major challenge of selectively derivatizing complex molecules at specific functional groups while preserving other sensitive functionalities. This work falls under core research areas including organic chemistry, catalysis, synthetic chemistry, and transition metal chemistry.
His research contributes to the faculty's broader profile in catalysis and functional materials, intersecting with interdisciplinary initiatives like RESOLV (Ruhr Explores Solvation) and ICAMS (Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulations). The faculty maintains strong ties with graduate programs including the Graduate School of Chemistry and Biochemistry (GSCB), which supports approximately 200 international doctoral candidates through structured programs and English-language instruction.
As part of Ruhr University's research ecosystem, Prof. Gooßen's work aligns with strategic priorities in solvation science and sustainable chemistry development within North Rhine-Westphalia's leading chemistry faculty.
