Stefan Hecht is Einstein Professor at Humboldt University in Berlin and involved in the Berlin Cluster of Excellence Unifying Systems in Catalysis and the Collaborative Research Centers Hybrid Inorganic/Organic Systems for Opto-Electronics (Humboldt University) and Fluorospecific Interactions (Freie Universität).
Global challenges, such as the future energy supply or the sustainable use of resources, require new energy, information and communication technologies. In order to minimize energy consumption and close material cycles, for example, it is necessary to research new materials with improved properties and develop them to technological maturity. As an Einstein Professor, Stefan Hecht will be devoting himself to precisely this challenge in the future, working with his team on the development of light-controlled molecular materials and volumetric 3D printing processes (xolography).
