Ulrich Kubitscheck is the department head of Biophysical Chemistry at the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn, Germany. Having obtained his academic degrees from the University of Bremen, he spent his career working at The Weizmann Institute of Science and the Institute of Medical Physics and Biophysics of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster before taking up his present appointment at Bonn University. Professor Kubitscheck develops single molecule imaging techniques, has authored over 60 scientific publications and has extensive experience in teaching courses on physical chemistry, biophysics and quantitative microscopy.
