Richard Dronskowski (born 11 November 1961, in Brilon) is a German chemist and physicist. He is a full professor at the RWTH Aachen University.

Life[edit]

Dronskowski studied chemistry and physics at the University of Münster from 1981 to 1986.[1] He completed his chemistry diploma with Bernt Krebs and Arndt Simon in 1987.[1] He finished his physics diploma with Ole Krogh Andersen and Johannes Pollmann in 1989.[1] He received his doctorate under supervision of Arndt Simon at the University of Stuttgart.[1] From 1991 to 1992, he was a visiting scientist in the group of Roald Hoffmann at Cornell University.[2] In 1995, he finished his habilitation at the University of Dortmund. Since 1997, he is a full professor at the RWTH Aachen University.[1]
