Stefan Braese (Stefan Bräse, born 30th November 1967 in Kiel) is a German organic chemist at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). He is a university lecturer, and has been, among others, dean of the Faculty of Chemistry and Biosciences of the University of Karlsruhe/KIT (Technical High-school, TH). He is currently Director of the Institute for Biological and Chemical Systems (formerly the Institute of Toxicology and Genetics) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Managing Director of the Materials Science Center for Energy Conversion (MZE) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

Life
Stefan Bräse studied Chemistry in Göttingen and Bangor, Wales. After his Diploma and the ultimate Doctoral Thesis with Armin de Meijere in Göttingen, he was employed as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of Uppsala, Sweden, (Jan Bäckvall) and at the Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, USA, (K. C. Nicolaou). He became a Research Group Leader at the RWTH Aachen with Dieter Enders and received in 2001 a Professorship at the University of Bonn. Since 2003, he has been a Professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Stefan Bräse is married, the father of a son, and lives in Karlsruhe and Troisdorf.

Stefan Bräse and his Research Group research the synthesis of biologically relevant, complex molecular- and nanostructures. In the tribute to the ORCHEM Prize were emphasised his ' Terrific Posts on the Organic Solid-Phase Synthesis, that has opened-up New Possibilities for the Development of Biologically-Active Compounds'.

Further interests were in the direction of materials science, Combinatorial Chemistry, Digital Chemistry - such as Machine Learning. In his group, the electronic Lab-Journals Chemotion and Labimotion were developed, and it also hosts the Data Repository Chemotion Repository. The self-driving lab ChemASAP was also developed in his group.

He is a Co-Founder of the Company cynora GmbH.

Publications and Prizes
Stefan Bräse has over 750 publications, such as many Books, for example, Asymmetric Synthesis - The Essentials, published. He was Visiting Professor in Organic Chemistry in Madison, Stanford and Paris, and won the Lilly Lecture Award of 2001, the ORCHEM-Prize for Newly-Established Scientist in 2000, the Richard-Zsigmondy Prize of 1995, and was German Research Foundation (DFG) Habilitation-Stipend Recipient.
