Co-ordination: Gertrud Adelmann Office of the Dean Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Butenandtstr. 5–13 (Haus F), 81377 München Print: Hansa Print Service GmbH ein Unternehmen der Wenzel-Gruppe Thalkirchner Str. 72 80337 München III Dear Reader: Our Faculty has been putting together a research report biennially since 1988 doc- umenting the research activities of its three Departments. This report may also be viewed on the Faculty’s website under http://www.cup.lmu.de</de/forschung. Important factors for conducting successful research have been the establishment of new key professorships, an example of which was the professorship for the Didac- tics of Chemistry, organized through successful applications to various programs one of which was the European Research Council. Among the special awards granted for the work of our faculty members were the Leibniz Prize of the German Research Foundation as well as a European Research Council Advanced Grant for the Chemistry and Biochemistry Departments. Numerous promising young re- searchers, both women and men, have received further honors or have been offered academic positions at renowned research institutions. Our donors, whom we thank for their engagement in the Römer- and Marcinek Endowments, have made another important contribution to the maintenance of a stimulating research climate. To assure future progress, we are currently building new premises for researchers at the new Institute for Chemical Epigenetics Munich (ICEM). The training of young academics is especially important to foster creative and com- petitive research. Within the last two years, the quality of our study programs has been officially recognized through accreditation and the education of our students has profited by grants from the State and from the Contract for Quality in Teaching (Qualitätspakt Lehre). Personal responsibility, high motivation and drive are the characteristics of our teaching staff, doctoral assistants, students and faculty employees, all of whom have contributed to the outstanding results documented in this report. My thanks to all members of the Faculty, the President’s Office and the State of Bavaria.

    Curriculum Vitae Prof. (ETHZ)* Dr. Gerald Haug Version: February 2020 Name: Gerald H. Haug Born: 14 April 1968 in Karlsruhe, Germany Major Scientific Interests: Paleoclimatology, Marine Geology, Paleoceanography, Climate and Societies Gerald Haug is a paleoclimatologist, marine geologist and paleoceanographer. He studies the development of the Earth climate over thousands to millions of years. He analyses sediment cores from the sea floor and lakes, amongst several other climate archives. The chemical composition of the different sediment layers provides clues to the prevailing climatic conditions at the time of deposition. This allows quantitative reconstructions of past climate conditions and the underlying processes in the ocean, atmosphere and climate system.

The prize is considered the highest distinction for young researchers in Germany. Sci- entific work of Pavel Levkin focuses on the investigation of cell-surface interactions, the development of biofunctional ma- terials and super-water-repellent surfaces as well as on nano- particles for specific medicine and gene transport. A major sci- entific success of Levkin was the synthesis of lipid-like mole- cules for gene modification of cells. “Polymer chemistry develops new synthesis methods for innovative materials with so far unreached properties and has a high potential for future use,” KIT President Professor Holger Hanselka explains. “An important application is molecular cell biology. Based on his excellent understanding of polymer chemistry and biology, Pavel Levkin made major contributions. I am extraordinarily happy that this great achievement is now honored by the important Heinz Maier- Leibnitz Prize.” Page 1 / 3 KIT – University of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg and National Research Center of the Helmholtz Association www.kit.edu Press Release No. 034 | or | April 2, 2015 The Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize is granted annually by the DFG to young scientists for outstanding achievements.

The awards reflect outstanding achievements that have resulted in expanded geometric applications in computer graphics, personalized recommendations from information filtering, improved face and motion detection, adaptable cryptography methods, and broadened student participation in computer science education. The 2010 ACM award winners, from internationally known research and academic institutions, include practiced innovators as well as promising newcomers to the computing profession. ACM will present these and other awards at the ACM Awards Banquet on June 4, in San Jose, CA. The 2010 ACM awards winners include: • Kurt Mehlhorn, recipient of the Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award for contributions to algorithm engineering that led to creation of the Library of Efficient Data Types and Algorithms (LEDA). This software collection of data structures and algorithms, which Mehlhorn developed with Stefan Näher, provides practical solutions for problems that had previously impeded progress in computer graphics, computer-aided geometric design, scientific computation, and computational biology. LEDA’s software has been incorporated in the applied research programs of thousands of companies worldwide in telecommunications, bioinformatics, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Geographic Information System (GIS), banking, optical products, and transportation.
