BARTHOLOMÄUS (BART)
PIEBER
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 as well as the Graz University of Technology (Austria). In 2015, Bart earned his PhD for research studies 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, he moved to Peter Seeberger's lab in Potsdam (Germany), where he developed novel continuous flow techniques and started his research on heterogeneous photocatalysis for organic synthesis.
In 2018, Bart became a research group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (Potsdam, Germany) and a lecturer at the University of Potsdam. Bart spent time as a visiting scientist/professor at the California Institute of Technology (Pasadena, USA, Host: Prof. Greg Fu) and at the University of Innsbruck (Austria).
In summer 2023, Bart moved with his team to the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), where he joined faculty as an Assistant Professor in Chemistry (tenure track).
