Short Biography
Werner Kunz, born October 30, 1960 in Krummennaab/Bavaria (Germany), studied
chemistry at the University of Regensburg. He obtained his PhD in 1988 at this
university working on Vapour Pressure Measurements and
Statistical-Mechanical Theories for the Determination of Thermodynamic and
Structural Properties of Electrolytes in Acetonitrile and Methanol, in the
group of Prof. Dr. J. Barthel. He spent four years as a postdoctoral fellow
with Prof. Pierre Turq at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris,
France and in the Laboratoire Léon Brillouin, CEA, Saclay, France. In
1992 he got his french "habilitation" working on the determination
of the structure and dynamics of solutions, especially with the help of neutron
scattering experiments. In the same year he was assistant professor at the
Université de Technologie de Compiègne (UTC), France and research
fellow at the CEA, Saclay, France.
In 1993 he was appointed Professor at the UTC, France, working there until
1997, especially about liquids, solutions, microemulsions and emulsions with
industrial interest. In 1995 he created a new series of post-graduate taught
courses (D.E.S.S.) on complex liquids and colloids.
In 1997 he moved to the Universität Regensburg as full professor.
He received grants and fellowships from the State of Bavaria, the
Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes, the Fonds der chemischen Industrie, the
NATO, the European Community, and from Elf Aquitaine.
Since 2000 he is corresponding member of the European Academy of Science and
Arts (Paris, London).
