Christian Huck obtained his doctorate in chemistry in 1998 from the University in Innsbruck, Austria, where he continued to work as an assistant professor until the habilitation in 2006. In 2013, he received a call as a full professor to the University of Stuttgart, Germany and in 2015, another call back to the University of Innsbruck, where he is currently vice-head of the Institute of Analytical Chemistry and Radiochemistry and head of the spectroscopy unit. From 2014 until 2017 he was a visiting professor at Kwansei-Gakuin University in Sanda, Japan, in the laboratory of Professor Yukihiro Ozaki. Christian has published more than 300 peer-reviewed manuscripts resulting in an h-index of 52 based on more than 10000 citations. Beside several numerous awards he was also the receiver of 2018 Tomas Hirschfeld Award. In his research he is mainly focusing on vibrational spectroscopic technologies (NIR, MIR, Raman) for life and material science in combination with separation technologies. Currently, he is editor-in-chief for Spectrochimica Acta A (Elsevier) and NIR news (Sage) as well as associate editor for several analytical journals including JNIRS.
