!!Stefanie Dehnen - Biography
\\
Stefanie Dehnen received her diploma in 1993 and her doctoral degree in 1996 from the University of Karlsruhe (now KIT). After a postdoctoral stay in Theoretical Chemistry (1997), she completed her habilitation in Inorganic Chemistry in 2004. From 2006 to 2022, she has been a Full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Philipps University of Marburg. As of 2022, she has been Professor of Information-Based Materials Design and Nanosciences as well as of Inorganic Chemistry at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, where she is the Executive Director of the Institute of Nanotechnology. She is a Full Member of the European Academy of Sciences, Leopoldina German National Academy of Sciences, Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Lower Saxony, Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature, and Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. She is also a Corresponding Member Abroad of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of Chemistry Europe, Honorary Fellow of the Chinese Chemical Society and Hector Fellow of the Hector Academy. Her research has been recognized with numerous awards, recently including the 2020 Alfred Stock Memorial Prize of German Chemical Society (GDCh), the 2023 Alexander Todd-Hans Krebs Lectureship in Chemical Sciences from Royal Chemical Society, the DFG-Leibniz Lecture and the Hector Science Award by the Hector Academy in 2024, as well as an IUPAC Distinguished Women in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering Award in 2025. Most importantly, Stefanie Dehnen was awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize from German Research Foundation (DFG)—the most prestigious German-based research award—and an ERC Advanced Grant by the European Research Council in 2022. From 2017 to 2022, she has been the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry Division of GDCh. From 2020 to 2021, she was Vice President of GDCh, and currently, she is the President of GDCh (2024 - 2025). Among many other services for the community, Stefanie Dehnen has been an elected member of the Molecular Chemistry Review Board of DFG for eight years, and she is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Inorganic Chemistry (ACS). Her current research focus is on synthesis and experimental as well as quantum chemical investigation of compounds with multinary, in particular multimetallic, molecular nanoarchitectures that have potential as innovative catalysts, white light emitters or battery materials.
