Stefan Kubik studied chemistry at Heinrich-Heine-Universität in Düsseldorf and at King's College in London. He graduated in 1987 with a diploma thesis in the group of Prof. Dr. G. Wulff, and received his Ph.D. in 1992. In 1993 he spent one year as a post-doc in the group of Prof. J. Rebek Jr. at M.I.T. After returning to Düsseldorf in September 1994, he began investigations on the host-guest chemistry of cyclopeptides containing non-natural aromatic amino acid subunits. This work led to his Habilitation in April 2002. Between March 2003 and October 2004, he taught organic chemistry at Bergische Universität Wuppertal as a substitute professor. Since November 2004, he is full professor at Kaiserslautern University of Technology. He is an author of more than 100 publications.
