Prof. Dr. Michael Grunze is Chair of the Applied Physical Chemistry Research Group at Heidelberg University’s Institute of Physical Chemistry. He received his diploma in chemistry in 1972 and his Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 1974 from the Free University of Berlin. From 1984-1988, he was Full Professor of Physics and Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at the University of Maine in Orono; from 1985-1987, Director of the Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology at the University of Maine; and from 2003-2007, Codirector of the Institute of Molecular Biophysics at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. During his tenure in Maine he started to work on polymer surfaces, which led into the ongoing investigation of ultrathin organic films and self-assembled monolayers in his group in Heidelberg. His present research focuses on the preparation and characterization of organic films, including their applications, and the development of spectroscopic methods for in situ and in vivo investigations of biointerfaces and cells. Michael Grunze received several awards and serves as the chairman of the Scientific Advising Board of the Max-Planck-Institute of Colloid and Interface Science in Golm, Germany. He is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the European Synchrotron Source Radiation Facility (ESRF) and several research institutes in Europe, and is scientific director of CeloNova, Newnan, Georgia. Georgia. He became a member of AVS in 1981 and is editor-in-chief of Biointerphases. Prof. Grunze has published more than 400 scientific papers in international journals, including Science, Nature, J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Adv. Mater., Phys. Rev. Lett., ACS Nano, etc. Title 1: Chemical Nanolithography Title 2: In-situ studies of marine fouling Time: November 14, at 9:50 in the morning Location: Room 306 in the 7th Teaching Building of Yuquan Campus
