in En gl h is Bachelor Chemie Berufsporträt Stefan Lutz «My study in chemistry has opened up the world to me, creating opportunities for a challenging and intellectually stimulating professional career in the chemical sciences.» Sagt Stefan Lutz, der sein Studium 1992 abschloss. Nachfolgend ein Gespräch über sein Studium und seine heutige Tätigkeit als biologischer Chemiker als Dozent und Forscher. Wo arbeiten Sie heute? What are you doing today? Emory University is a private institution of higher learning located in Atlanta GA. With an enrollment of approximately 6500 undergraduates, as well as 7000 graduate students and professionals, Emory offers degree programs in liberal arts & science, law, business, and medicine. The university has a strong teaching and research record in the physical and life sciences and is currently ranked in the top 50 of US institutions of higher education. Welches sind Ihre Tätigkeitsgebiete und Verantwortlichkeiten? Tell us more about your job and responsabilities? My faculty appointment involves classroom teaching and running a research laboratory. The teaching role covers both undergraduate and graduate classes with anywhere from 5 to 120 students in the course. In the research setting, my primary role is to supervise and to mentor a team of ~10 undergraduate researchers, PhD candidates and postdoctoral fellows, as well as to raise funds from federal, state and private sources to support our research efforts. Was gefällt Ihnen an Ihrem Beruf? What do you like most in your job? The intellectual freedom to pursue my own ideas in the research laboratory and the opportunity to interact with bright and endlessly curious students on a daily basis.

Berufslaufbahn Alter 16 Lehre als Chemielaborant 19 Arbeitstätigkeit als Chemielaborant 20 Studium Chemie 24 M.Sc Biotechnology, University of Teesside, Middlesborough, UK 25 Chemiedoktorant, University of Florida, Gainesville FL, USA 30 PhD Chemie, State College, PA, USA 33 Assistant Professor, Emory University, Dept. of Chemistry, Atlanta GA, USA 39 Associate Professor, Emory University Zürcher Fachhochschule Why did you study chemistry? As a Chemielaborant, many of my questions about the ongoing projects and chemistry behind them were dismissed based on the fact that I did not have sufficient scientific knowledge. Returning to school and acquiring the necessary proficiency seemed the logical thing to fix the problem. Welche Eigenschaften brauchen die Studierenden Ihrer Meinung nach? Which requirements should students fulfill? Passionate teachers, curiosity for chemistry, and long hours of studying were critical to success. Welches Wissen und welche Kompetenzen aus dem Studium verwenden Sie heute in Ihrem Berufsalltag? Is there anything you learned during your studies and still need in your daily business? Although I am teaching and conducting research in the area of biochemistry, all aspects of chemistry and biology/biotechnology that I was taught during my studies in Switzerland remain an integral part of my daily professional activities.
