Carsten Streb (* 24. April 1979 in Pirmasens) is a german chemist and professor of inorganic chemistry.

Life
Streb studied chemistry from 1999 to 2004 at Kaiserslautern University of Technology. He undertook his PhD in chemistry from 2005 to 2007 at the University of Glasgow supervised by Lee Cronin. He received his PhD in 2008 based on a thesis entitled „Functional polyoxometalate assemblies – From host-guest complexes to porous frameworks“. After a postdoctoral position (2008 to 2009) at James Watt Nanofabrication Centre Glasgow, he received his habilitation (venia legendi) in inorganic chemistry in 2013 at Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg. From 2013 to 2022 he was professor of inorganic chemistry at Ulm University, first as associate professor, and from 2018 as full professor and principal investigator at Helmholtz-Institut Ulm. Since April 2022, he is professor of inorganic chemistry at Johannes-Gutenberg-University Mainz

Research
The Streb reserach group investigates the development of new molecular metal oxide clusters, so-called polyoxometalates. These compounds are important materials for solar energy conversion, electrocatalysis or new high performance batteries verwendet werden können. The Streb group also develop hybrid organic-inorganic composites with antiviral or antibacterial properties.
