Nuno Maulide

After studies at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon and a master's degree in Molecular Chemistry at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, Nuno Maulide underwent doctoral studies in the University of Louvain (UCLouvain).[1]

In 2007, he obtained his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Istvan Marko, working on the application of functionalized orthoesters in organic synthesis.[2] He then moved to Stanford University for a post-doctoral stay in the group of Prof. Barry Trost.[3] Nuno Maulide started his independent career in 2009, when he was appointed group leader at the Max-Plank-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr.

In 2013 at the age of 33[4] he moved to the University of Vienna, taking a position as Full Professor of Organic Synthesis (as the successor to Johann Mulzer). In 2012, Nuno Maulide was awarded a European Research Council Starting grant.[5] He currently holds a European Research Council Consolidator grant (awarded in 2015-16).[6][7] Nuno Maulide is also a member of the Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences[8] and since 2017 serves in the Board of the Austrian Science Fund.[9] He is also the founding Chair of the Division of Organic Chemistry of the Austrian Chemical Society. He has been Associate Editor at the American Chemical Society journals Organic Letters and JACS Au since 2018. Nuno Maulide is also Adjunct PI at the CeMM since 2018 and runs a large collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim, funded by the Christian Doppler Gesellschaft, since 2019.
