معرفی
Prof. Dr. Udo Kragl is a full Professor and Chair of Technical Chemistry at the University of Rostock, affiliated with the Department of Technical and Analytical Chemistry within the Interdisciplinary Faculty. He has held leadership roles including Vice Rector for Research and Research Training (2015–2023) and Head of Department at the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis since 2003.
- Diploma, University of Bonn, 1989
- Doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.), University of Bonn, 1992
- Habilitation in Technical Chemistry, University of Bonn, 1998
His research focuses on chemo- and biocatalysis in multiphase systems, ionic liquids (ILs), polymerized ionic liquids (PILs), membrane processes, and chemical reaction engineering. His group explores the stabilization of enzymes in ILs, thermomorphic solvent systems for biocatalysis, and the use of nanofiltration for IL recovery. Recent work includes developing PIL-based hydrogels for controlled and stimulus-responsive drug delivery and investigating ILs as quenching media in metallurgy.
The publication trends reflect a strong emphasis on sustainable chemistry, green solvents, and process intensification. Key themes include enzyme stabilization in non-conventional media, recyclable catalytic systems, advanced separation techniques, and multifunctional materials for biomedical and industrial applications.
Scientific Awards and Leadership:
- Chairman of the Board, German Society for Catalysis (GeCatS), since 2020
Prof. Kragl has led major research initiatives and secured funding such as from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for advanced equipment (GCMS, ion trap mass spectrometer). He has supervised numerous students and researchers, with recent lab news welcoming new colleagues, indicating active mentorship. His work is conducted through collaborative projects like REMEDIS and Response, involving institutions such as the IBMT at the University of Rostock.
The working group maintains a strong experimental focus, with recent installations of high-end analytical and processing equipment, supporting ongoing research in catalysis, materials, and process engineering.
