Biographical Sketch
Prof. Dr. Klaus Mulen joined the Max-Planck-Society in 1989 as one of the directors of the Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research. He obtained a Diplom-Chemiker degree at the University of Cologne in 1969 after work with Professor E. Vogel. His Ph.D. degree was granted by the University of Basel Switzerland in 1972 where he undertook research with Professor F. Gerson on twisted pi-systems and EPR spectroscopic properties of the corresponding radical anions. In 1972 he joined the group of Professor J.F.M. Oth at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zuich where he worked in the field of dynamic NMR spectroscopy and electrochemistry. He received his habilitation from the ETH Zuich in 1977 and was appointed Privatdozent. In 1979 he became a Professor in the Department of Organic Chemistry University of Cologne and accepted an offer of a chair in Organic Chemistry at the University of Mainz in 1983. He received a call to the University of Gotingen in 1988.
