Stefan Roesner received his Diploma in chemistry from Philipps-University Marburg, Germany (2010). Following this, he moved to the UK and completed a Ph.D. in organic chemistry with Prof. Varinder Aggarwal at the University of Bristol focussing on the stereoselective synthesis of small molecules (2014). He conducted postdoctoral studies in the US at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the direction of Prof. Stephen Buchwald where his research focus shifted towards palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions conducted in collaboration with Novartis (2015-2016). He returned to the UK to become Senior Research Fellow in the Shipman group in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Warwick (2016-2021). He was promoted to become Assistant Professor at Warwick (2021-2024) and became Fellow of the first cohort of the EUTOPIA Young Leaders Academy (2021-2023). He has completed a PGA in technology enhanced learning and is Fellow of Advance HE. In April 2024, he became Senior Lecturer in Organic Chemistry at the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Science at Liverpool John Moores University. The research interest of his group is synthetic organic chemistry with a particular focus on heterocyclic chemistry, catalysis, organometallic chemistry, and continuous-flow processing of reactive intermediates.
