معرفی
Prof. Dr. Thomas Müller is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg, leading the Müller Research Group. His work focuses on Lewis pairs, frustrated Lewis systems, and catalysis using main-group elements like silicon and phosphorus. He has pioneered research on environmentally friendly catalysts for industrial applications, such as hydrogen splitting and CO₂ reduction. His group collaborates internationally with institutions like Tohoku University and the University of Western Ontario.
- Research Highlights: Frustrierte Lewis-Paare (FLPs), silicium-based catalysts, and sustainable chemistry.
- Notable Achievements: Co-developed FLPs for hydrogen activation, earned awards for student research, and published in Angewandte Chemie.
Key research interests include synthetic inorganic chemistry, materials science, and applications of main-group elements in green chemistry. His team's work on silicium-based Lewis acids has advanced hydrodefluorination and other catalytic processes.
- Students: Supervised numerous PhD and master’s students, including Marie Würdemann (prize winner), Saskia Rathjen, and Zhaowen Dong (Best PhD Thesis, 2018).
Labs/Teams: Active in experimental and theoretical studies of main-group element chemistry, with facilities for advanced spectroscopy and synthesis.
