Marcus Baumann is currently an Associate Professor at the School of Chemistry at University College Dublin where his group is pursuing research towards developing and implicating continuous flow routes of drug-like building blocks utilising photochemistry, biocatalysis and various high-energy transformations. Marcus graduated with a Diploma in Chemistry from Philipps-University Marburg, Germany in 2007. He then joined the group of Prof. Steven V. Ley FRS at the University of Cambridge for his PhD which focused on developing continuous flow methods for the synthesis of bioactive entities. In 2011, he moved to Irvine, California as a postdoc in the group of Prof. Larry E. Overman followed by further postdoctoral studies with Prof. Ian R. Baxendale at the University of Durham (2013) targeting scalable flow routes of industrially relevant building blocks before taking up his post in Dublin in late 2017.
