Arne Thomas (born 1975) is a German chemist who researches porous and nanostructured materials for catalytic applications.

Career

Thomas studied chemistry at the University of Giessen, the University of Marburg, and at the Heriot-Watt University. He conducted his doctoral research under the direction of Markus Antonietti at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces and defended his PhD thesis in 2004.[1] In 2005, following a postdoc position at Galen D. Stucky's lab at the University of California, Santa Barbara, he returned to the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces as a group leader.[2] Since 2009, he has been full professor for inorganic chemistry (Functional Materials) at the Technical University of Berlin. Since 2019 he is the spokesperson of the Cluster of Excellence Unifying Systems in Catalysis (UniSysCat).[3]
