Reference excerpt

Ulrich Sigmar Schubert (born 17 July 1969, Tübingen) is a German chemist and full professor for Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry at the Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena.

Academic and professional background Ulrich S. Schubert studied chemistry at the Goethe University Frankfurt and the University of Bayreuth, with a stay abroad in Richmond, Virginia, US. He received his doctorate in Bayreuth including a research stay in Tampa, Florida (supervisors C. D. Eisenbach and George R. Newkome), and had a post-doc stay in Strasbourg with Jean-Marie Lehn (Nobel Laureate for Chemistry 1987). He did his habilitation at the Technical University of Munich (mentor O. Nuyken). His research focuses on macro- and supramolecular chemistry, which produces new materials with potential applications in life sciences such as medicine and nanotechnology as well as energy renewal and energy storage. Already during his habilitation in 1999, Schubert took up an associate professorship (C3) at LMU Munich at the Center for NanoScience. The following year he received a Heisenberg scholarship from the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) and worked at the Technical University of Munich. From 2000 to 2007, Schubert held the professorship for Macromolecular Chemistry and Nanosciences at the Eindoven University of Technology (TU/e). From 2003 to 2014 he was Scientific Chairman of the HTE division at the Dutch Polymer Institute (Dutch Polymer Institute) and from 2005 on member of the board of directors of the "Cooperate Research" division. From 2007 to 2010, Schubert took over a part-time professorship for Macromolecular Chemistry and Nanoscience at Eindhoven University of Technology, as he also took up a W3 professorship for Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry at Friedrich Schiller University Jena from this time on. In addition to his professorship since 2007, he has held various positions at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, including as director of the Laboratory of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry (IOMC; 2007–2013, and 2019–2022), spokesperson of the research focus "Innovative Materials and Technologies" (2008-2014), vice dean and dean of the Faculty for Chemistry and Earth Sciences (2010-2017), vice-spokesperson of the research profile line "Light" (2014-2019), member of the senate of FSU Jena (since 2019), member of the mediation committee as representative of the university teachers in the senate and chairman of twelve appointment committees. In addition, Schubert is (founding) director of the Jena Center for Soft Matter (JCSM, since 2010) and the Center for Energy and Environmental Chemistry Jena (CEEC Jena, since 2014) at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, where he is also a member of the planning team for the new buildings CEEC Jena II and AWZ CEEC Jena. Schubert initiated five company spin-offs as well as two company establishments and is founding ambassador of the K1 Gründerservice (start-up-service) of FSU Jena. He holds 52 patents/patent applications, 35 of which have been transferred to industry. He is also a member of the international advisory boards of ten scientific journals, guest editor of 14 special issues or books and two specialized textbooks. In October 2015, a publication in the scientific journal Nature attracted particular attention, in which a new metal-free redox flow battery based on polymers as active materials was presented. Schubert was also (co-)organizer of more than 25 international workshops, symposia and conferences.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ulrich S. Schubert

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ulrich S. Schubert claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In chemistry, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Ulrich S. Schubert before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Ulrich S. Schubert ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Ulrich S. Schubert

In research: Ulrich S. Schubert appears in chemistry research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Ulrich S. Schubert in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Ulrich S. Schubert is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1969 births, Academic staff of the University of Jena, German male musicians, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ulrich S. Schubert outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
