Werner Urland received his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry in 1971 from Giessen University. During his PhD, he joined the group of Prof. Lord J Lewis at the University of London and worked together with Dr. M Gerloch in the field of magnetochemistry. Afterwards, he spent two years as a Post-doctoral fellow at the University Chemical Laboratory in Cambridge in the group of Prof. Dr. A D Buckingham working on Theoretical Chemistry. After his habilitation on magnetochemistry of lanthanide compounds in 1980, he joined the group of Prof. Dr. A Simon at the Max-Planck-Institute for solid state research in Stuttgart. In 1986, he became a Professor for Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Hannover. His current research as a guest Professor at the University of Fribourg is focused on the theory of 4f- and 5f-systems.
