awardee 2023 - Michael Ruck, TU Dresden

Professor Dr. Michael Ruck is being honored for his broad-based and conceptually unusual work, which starts from classical inorganic solid-state chemistry and continues to develop. His groundbreaking contributions range from synthesis and structural characterization to nanomaterials and coordination compounds, and also include the discovery of the fibrous modification of the element phosphorus, known as Ruck's phosphorus.
