Gerhard Ertl studied physics in Stuttgart, Munich and Paris and
received his PhD in physical chemistry from the Technical
University in Munich. He worked as a professor in Hannover and
Munich, as well as a visiting professor at the California Institute
of Technology and the University of California, Berkeley. In 1986
he became director at the Fritz Haber Institut in Berlin, where he
retired in 2004. He received numerous awards and honours, is the
Nobel laureate in chemistry in 2007, and a member of several
academies.
Helmut Knözinger studied physics at the University of Munich where
he received his PhD in physical chemistry and became a professor of
physical chemistry. Currently he works as a retired professor at
the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of the University of
Munich. His research interests are the fields of surface
spectroscopy, surface chemistry and heterogeneous catalysis. Prof.
Knözinger is co-editor of numerous books and member of several
editorial boards. He was President of the International Association
of Catalysis Societies IACS and received several national and
international awards, such as The Alwin Mittasch-Medal and the Max
Planck-Forschungspreis.
Ferdi Schüth studied chemistry and law in Münster, Germany. After
he received his PhD Schüth went to Minneapolis, USA for a Post-Doc
and then to Mainz university as habilitand. In 1995 he became
professor in Frankfurt, Germany. Since 1998 Schüth is Director at
the Max-Planck-Institute für Kohlenforschung. His research
interests are in the area of materials science and catalysis,
especially in the synthesis of catalyst materials. Even though
Schüth is a relatively young scientist he is already well decorated
with awards, e.g. the Leibniz-Award of the German Science
Foundation (DFG). He was recently appointed vice president of the
DFG.
Jens Weitkamp studied chemistry in Karlsruhe and Berlin and
received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of
Karlsruhe. In 1986 he became a professor of Chemical Technology in
Oldenburg, and in 1988 he was appointed Director of the Institute
of Chemical Technology of the University of Stuttgart, Germany. He
is the founder of the journal Microporous and Mesoporous Materials
and a co-editor of numerous books on heterogeneous catalysis and
zeolites. From 1997 to 2001 he served as the President of the
International Zeolite Association (IZA), and since 2002 he has been
a Vice-President of DECHEMA, the Society for Chemical Engineering
and Biotechnology in Frankfurt.
