Dr. Jürgen Allgaier

Jürgen Allgaier studied chemistry at the University of Freiburg and obtained his doctorate in 1993. He worked in Strasbourg at the Institut Charles Sadron and as Postdoctoral Fellow at Sheffield University on research projects in anionic polymerization. In 1995 he joined Forschungszentrum Jülich. At the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science his present research interests are in the areas of anionic polymerization, polymers with architecture and cyclic polymers. Further research fields include polymer-lipid interactions as well as the development of deuteration techniques for polymers and organic compounds. In 2002 he was awarded the Erwin Schrödinger-Prize for Interdisciplinary Research.
