Draft:Henning Höppe

Henning A. Höppe (* October 7, 1972 in Nuremberg) is a German professor for Chemistry and Materials Sciences at the University of Augsburg. He published more than 110 manuscripts and a textbook on Rare-earth chemistry.

Life and Research
He received his Chemistry diploma at the University of Bayreuth in 1998 and his Ph.D. from Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich in 2003 under the supervision of Wolfgang Schnick. Then he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford in the group of Malcolm L. H. Green doing research on carbon nanotubes. He obtained his habilitation in Inorganic Chemistry in 2010 from Albert-Ludwigs University Freiburg.

In 2010 he got a position as professor for Solid-state Chemistry and Materials Sciences at the University of Augsburg.

Research
Since then he has been working in the field of silicate-analogous compounds such as phosphates, tin borates, fluorooxoborates and borosulfates where his group published the very first crystalline representatives in 2012. Mainly investigated applications are phosphors or non-linear optical materials for optical applications based on rare-earth elements. His group also investigated properties of compounds such as Bismuth(III) sulfate.
