Reiner Salzer

Reiner Salzer (born February 12, 1942 in Aue (Sachsen))[1] is a German chemist (Analytical Chemistry) and university teacher of Analytical Chemistry at the TU Dresden.

Reiner Salzer

Salzer studied chemistry from 1962 in Leipzig with a diploma in 1967. After his doctorate with Gerhard Geiseler 1971 on the intensity of infrared spectral bands he was a post-doc at the University of Ljubljana with Dušan Hadži (* 1921). Salzer habilitated in 1979 in Leipzig (Specific interactions and conformations in alkane derivatives). In 1990 he was appointed Full Professor of Analytical Chemistry at TU Dresden and Head of the Institute of Analytical Chemistry from 1991 – 2007.

Salzer employed various spectroscopic techniques (IR, Raman) for his investigations. His main research interests include molecular monitoring for early detection of diseases as well as analytical applications of biological active polymers such as artificial or natural ion channels.

1990/91 he was appointed Visiting Professor at the University of Oslo, later on he moved for research stays to Canada and to the USA. 2009 he was appointed Visiting Professor at the Gadjah Mada University of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Salzer is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science in Oslo.
