Bart is from St. Radegund, a cosy village at the bottom of the mountain Schöckl in the Austrian state of Styria. He studied chemistry at the University of Graz and the Graz University of Technology (Austria). In 2015, he earned his PhD working on organic chemistry in single- and multiphase continuous flow regimes in the group of Prof. C. Oliver Kappe at the University of Graz. Following his doctoral work, Bart moved to Peter Seeberger's lab in Potsdam (Germany), where he started to focus on heterogeneous photocatalysis and developed novel continuous flow techniques.  In 2018, he started his independent research career as a group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (Potsdam, Germany) and was appointed as a lecturer at the University of Potsdam.  In 2022, he spent time as visiting scientist/professor at the California institute of Technology (Pasadena, USA, Host: Prof. Greg Fu). In summer 2023, his team will move to the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), where he is joining faculty as an Assistant Professor (tenure track).
