Humboldt University, visit

This review was initially planned during a visit to the University of Bielefeld supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. I am grateful to Professor Achim Muller for his hospitality, and to Professors Lynn Francesconi, Uli Kortz, Bernt Krebs, Pierre Mialane, and Achim Muller, for preprints and copies of figures. 

Fig. 2.36 Martin A. Bennett is now Emeritus Professor at the Australian National University (ANU). He received his Ph.D. from the Imperial College London under the guidance of Geoffrey Wilkinson in 1960 and, after postdoctoral work with Arthur Adamson at the University of Southern California, became a Lecturer at the University College London in 1963. Four years later he moved down under and joined the Research School of Chemistry at ANU, where he was appointed Professorial Fellow in 1979 and Professor of Inorganic Chemistry in 1991. He is a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and the Royal Society of London, was awarded with the Nyholm Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 1991 and with the Max Planck Research Award in 1994. Martin won fellowships from the Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation in 1973 and 1980 and during the last time was a visiting professor in our department (photo by courtesy of M.B.)...

This review was prepared during a visit to Bielefeld University. I thank the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for generous support, and Professor Achim Muller for his hospitality and for valuable discussions. 

We are grateful to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for awarding a Research Fellowship to A.S. The present chapter results from a number of research visits of A.S. (supported by the Humboldt Foundation) to the University of Saarbriicken. 

Humboldt Research Award (2007). After receiving his docto-rate from the University of Kyoto, he became an associate professor at the Kyoto Institute of Technology. He was also a visiting professor at the University of Wisconsin before moving to Osaka City University in 1985. Professor Yoshida has authored/coauthored numerous scientific publications. 

Abroad, Prof. Vertes studied at Lomonosov University and became a Candidate of Science, Russian Academy of Sciences, 1965. He was a Visiting Scientist at the University of New Castle (England) and a Humboldt Fellow at the Technical University, Munich (Germany) as well as a Guest Professor at Lehigh University, Bethlehem (USA), Tokyo University (Japan) and Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz (Germany). 

The author acknowledges the Alexander von Humboldt (AvH) Eoundation for supporting several research visits to Germany. He also thanks Prof. Goerg H. Michler and his research group at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Germany for their unconditional support to the author s research missions in the field of nanostructured polymers in Nepal. 

In 1933 Kaischev became an assistant of Stranski at the Chemistry Faculty of Sofia University, and they both developed the theory of mean separation works [16-18]. In 1934 Kaischev was invited to visit the Ukrainian Physical-Technical Institute, in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and worked for 3 months in the laboratory for physics of low temperatures. In the autumn of 1937 he joined the Munich University for 1 year, again as a fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Two of his papers from this period related to the physics at low temperatures were published in Zeitschrift fiir Physikalische Chemie [27, 28]. 

Acknowledgements The ideas outlined in this chapter took shape during several visits of JCAB, sponsored by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, to the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Heidelberg. Stimulating interaction with all members of the Institute is gratefully acknowledged. 

Hiroshi Suemasu - bom in 1952, he received a Doctor of Engineering degree from the Department of Aeronautics at the University of Tokyo in 1980. He worked first in the Aerospace Laboratory at the University of Tokyo as a Research Associate fiom 1980 to 1986. During this period, he worked as a Visiting Research Assistant Professor in the University of Illinois from 1983 to 1985. He was employed by Sophia University as an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering in 1986. He was a Visiting Researcher at the National Aerospace Laboratory, Japan, fiom 1988 to 1991 and a Visiting Associate Professor at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science of Japan fiom 1989 to 1991. He stayed as an Alexander von Humboldt (AvH) fellow in the Institute for Composite Materials (TVW), University of Kaiserslautern, from 1992 to 1993. He was promoted to Professor in 1994 in Sophia University. He was awarded twice in 1987 and 2001 by the Japan Society for Composite Materials.
