Research Interests
Ralf-Uwe has been working as a programmer at the UFZ since 1993 in the former Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology Section, later the Department of Ecological Chemistry. His main task is the collection and validation of substance data for modeling as well as the development and implementation of QSAR models, eg. for the ChemProp software system.
In addition, he is the library representative and data representative for the department.
