Team
The crew of chemists
As loose and funny the impression on stage may be, behind these actors hide serious scientists:
Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Rudi van Eldik is Professor for Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry and since 1994 full professor at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. There is a serious scientist behind the show master which is proven by his list of scientific publications that is exceeded in its performance by only a few.
The rest of the crew consists of engaged Ph.D. students and scientific collaborators within his chair. It is the result of the team’s scientific background, all experiments on stage run smooth and safe.
Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Rudi van Eldik, Head of the Chair of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry.
