Since 2011, Stefan Wuttke is leader of the research group “Wuttkegroup for Science” (wuttkescience.com), initially hosted at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Munich (LMU), and at the Center for Nanoscience (CeNS) at the LMU (Germny). Currently, he is an Ikerbasque Professor at the Basque Center for Materials, Applications and Nanostructures.
He is author of over 80 papers, two book chapters and one patent. He is editor of Advanced Functional Materials and received different awards for his research including: Prize of the City of Poznań and Polish Chemical Society for the most prominent international representatives of science and art (2019), CeNS publication award (2018 and 2017), two Feodor Lynen research fellowships (2009-2011), Young Scientist Award for Catalysis (2008).
Wuttkegroup for Science is focused on all aspects of internal and external surface engineering of porous hybrid bulk- and nanomaterials and in the exploration of the unexpressed potential of “the materials beyond” (materials with multiple functional moieties that display synergetic effects). To this end, we are developing methodologies to both read and write chemical information from and onto architecture backbone of hybrid materials. At the same time, a basic understanding of the involved chemical and physical elementary processes in the synthesis and functionalization of these materials is pursued.
