Prof. Thomas Klapötke |
CECD is pleased to announce that Professor Thomas M. Klapötke, Chair of Inorganic Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, the largest chemistry department in Germany, at the Ludwig-Maximilians University (LMU) in Munich, Germany, has joined CECD as Visiting Professor.
Professor Klapötke will be visiting Maryland in September. This is his second visit as Visiting Professor. He will be collaborating with faculty at the University of Maryland and researchers at NSWCIH, the Army Research Laboratory, and the ETC to address advanced topics in energetics and to help establish the State of Maryland as an international Center of Excellence in Energetics.

Professor Klapötke is recognized internationally as a world-class leader in the area of synthesis of novel energetic materials. During his career, he has synthesized ca. 1000 new molecules and over 100 new energetic materials. With the synthesis of novel high-nitrogen compounds his forward-looking approach opened up a new technological horizon and resulted in ground-breaking successes in the areas of sustainable propellant charges and high explosives. Areas of his specialization are broad and include energetic materials, explosives, fluorine chemistry, high-energy-density materials (HEDM), structural characterization (X-ray), azide chemistry, strong oxidizers, nitro chemistry and pyrotechnics. Professor Klapötke is also recognized for his up-to-the-minute and advanced research in nitrogen-based energetics. Focusing on energetic materials at the forefront of chemistry, his goal is to discover modern green energetic materials via sustainable procedures. Professor Klapötke is the only scientist in Europe dedicated to inorganic energetic material research at the university level and the research group he leads is the only German university group researching energetic materials.
