Niels Felix kampkötter

Visiting Student

During his Bachelor’s in Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University Niels had many lectures and practical laboratory courses on organic, inorganic, physical, technical and macromolecular chemistry. In his Bachelor thesis in the Klankermayer group they developed a halide-free reaction pathway to an ionic liquid, which they then used in a biphasic system to catalytically synthesize linear acetals from CO2, H2 and diols. During this work he gained experience in homogenous catalysis, organometallic chemistry and multiphase chemistry. He has worked in the glovebox, with autoclaves and with Schlenk techniques. He can competently use Microsoft Office, LaTex, MestReNova, Chemdraw, Origin and a little bit of Gaussian. In his Master studies at RWTH Aachen University he is pursuing the specializations “catalysis” and “bioactive compounds and synthetic methods”.
