Rainer Jordan

Rainer Jordan is Professor of Macromolecular Chemistry at TU Dresden since 2009, with prior affiliations at Technical University of Munich. His interdisciplinary research bridges materials science, chemistry, biology, physics and medicine, focusing on surface-initiated polymerizations and functional materials.

Key research areas:

• Synthesis of novel monomers and complex polymer architectures
• Self-assembled monolayers on oxide and diamond substrates
• Polymer brush development via surface-initiated polymerization
• Functional colloid systems for biomedical applications

Significant honors include:

• Dr. Hermann Schnell Award from GDCh (2000)
• IAS Fellowship at Kyoto University (1989)
• PROCOPE Fellowship at CNRS Paris/Thiais (1993)
• DFG Postdoctoral Fellowship at Polytechnic University, Brooklyn (1996-1998)
