Draft:Henning Höppe

Höppe completed his Abitur in 1992 at the Rottmayr-Gymnasium in Laufen, Germany. After completing his military service, he studied chemistry at the University of Bayreuth, graduating in 1998. In 1997, he participated in the ERASMUS program at the University of Bristol's Organic Chemistry Section under Guy C. Lloyd-Jones. He earned his doctorate in 2003 from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich under supervision of Wolfgang Schnick, with a dissertation on europium-doped nitridosilicates, oxonitridosilicates, and carbidooxonitridosilicates.Henning A.

From 2003 to 2004, Höppe was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory with Malcolm Green, focusing on carbon nanotubes. He completed his habilitation in Inorganic chemistry from Albert-Ludwigs University Freiburg in 2010, concentrating on structure-property relationships of rare-earth-doped phosphates and borates. In 2010, he was appointed Professor of Solid-state Chemistry and Materials science at the University of Augsburg, Germany.

Höppe's research group investigates novel luminescent materials for optical applications, particularly in phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
