Robert Langer

Prof. Dr. Robert Langer serves as Professor and Managing Director of the Institute of Chemistry at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg within the Faculty of Natural Sciences II. His research group maintains a strong presence in both theoretical and experimental chemistry domains.

His research spans multiple specialized areas:

• Inorganic synthesis
• Organometallic synthesis
• Crystal structure analysis
• Advanced spectroscopy (NMR/EPR/IR/Raman/UV-Vis)
• Quantum chemistry of molecules
• Catalysis, particularly reactions under pressure conditions

Prof. Langer's group demonstrates active engagement with the academic community through initiatives like the Academic Bicycle Challenge 2023 where their team 'Volhard Vollgas' secured second place, and the 'Molecules to Touch' outreach program featured in Campus Halensis in February 2020.

As Managing Director of the Institute of Chemistry, he holds significant administrative responsibilities overseeing the department's operations while maintaining an active research program. His leadership position indicates substantial recognition within the German academic chemistry community.
