Life

edit

Mario Ruben studied chemistry from 1989 to 1994 at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena. In 1998, he obtained his PhD as fellow of the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes with a work entitled Homo– and Heteronuclear Mg-Carbamato–Complexes for CO2–Activation at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena in the research group of Prof. Dr. Dirk Walther. Afterwards, he completed a two-years research stay as DAAD-fellow at the University of Strasbourg in the research group of Nobel laureate Jean-Marie Lehn, where he habilitated in 2005 with a work on Functional (Supra)Molecular Nanostructures.[3]

In 2012 he received a call to join the Faculty of Physics at the University of Münster, Germany, which he declined to accept a W3 Full Professor position at the Faculty of Chemistry and Biology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.[4] He has published around 270 articles in refereed journals.[5]
