Prof. Dr. Karsten Meyer studied chemistry (October 1989 – 1994) at the Ruhr-University of Bochum (Germany) and received his Diploma in May 1995. Starting in the summer of 1995, he performed his Ph.D. thesis work under the direction of Professor Karl Wieghardt at the Max Planck Institute in Mülheim/Ruhr (Germany) and received his Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat, summa cum laude) in January 1998. With a DFG post-doctoral fellowship, Karsten gained research experience in Professor Christopher Cummins’ laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1998 – 2000, MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA). In January 2001, he was appointed to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) faculty as an Assistant Professor and was named an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow in 2004. In 2006, he accepted an offer (C4/W3) to be the Chair of the Institute of Inorganic & General Chemistry at the Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Germany. Karsten Meyer has published 300+ articles in peer-reviewed journals, leading to an h-index of 67 and 14,500+ citations (Scopus, 09/2024). The list of publications includes, among others, reports and articles in Science, Nature, Nature Chem., Chem, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Angewandte Chemie, and Chemical Science. He has given over 250 invited talks, including opening and plenary lectures, at conferences, research, and academic institutions worldwide.
