Jennifer Strunk holds a professorship in Industrial Chemistry with a focus on heterogeneous catalysis at the Technical University of Munich. She received her diploma in 2004 and her PhD in Industrial Chemistry in 2008 from Ruhr-University Bochum. Her research interests center on the activation of small stable molecules for chemical production, particularly in the recycling of carbon dioxide and the synthesis of basic chemicals. Strunk's work emphasizes understanding the light- and heat-driven physical and chemical elementary steps that enable the scaling of laboratory processes to industrial applications. She completed a postdoctoral stay at UC Berkeley and held positions as a junior research group leader and independent group leader at various esteemed institutions before being appointed to her current professorship in 2023. Strunk has received several awards for her research, including the 'Dozentenpreis' from the Chemical Industry Fund in 2017 and the Jochen-Block-Preis from the German Catalysis Society in 2014. She is also a nominated member of the “Global Young Faculty” at the Mercator Research Center Ruhr.
