Prof. Dr. Stephan Schulz is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Duisburg-Essen, leading the Schulz Group within the Faculty of Chemistry. He specializes in main group element chemistry, organometallic compounds, and catalysis. His work includes the synthesis of spinel-type nanoparticles and the development of molecular precursors for catalytic applications. He is a Principal Investigator in the Collaborative Research Centre CRC/TRR 247, focusing on heterogeneous oxidation catalysis. Education: PhD (1994) and Habilitation (2001) from the University of Göttingen. Academic career includes professorships at the Universities of Paderborn, Cologne, and Bonn. Research Interests: Low-valent organometallic compounds, gallium/indium/thallium derivatives, nanomaterials, and catalytic mechanisms. Recent work emphasizes gallium-based catalysts, pnictogen chemistry, and topological insulators. Publications: Over 100 articles in journals like Angew. Chem. , Organometallics , and Nature Chemistry . Key areas include gallium-substituted silylenes, pnictogen interactions, and nanomaterial synthesis. Awards: Habilitationsstipendium (DFG), Liebig-Stipendium (FCI), and multiple research grants. Active in academic leadership roles, including the GDCh-Ortsverband. Grants & Labs: Funded by DFG for projects on main group element chemistry and catalysis. Equipped with advanced NMR and X-ray diffraction facilities.
