Matthias D’Hooghe received a PhD degree in 2006 from Ghent University (Belgium) for his thesis entitled “2-(Bromomethyl)aziridines as versatile building blocks in organic chemistry”. In 2007, he became Post-doctoral Assistant at Ghent University, and in 2009 he performed a Post-doctoral stay at Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands). In 2010, he was promoted to Research Professor at Ghent University, and was granted tenure in 2015. His main research interests include the chemistry of small-ring azaheterocycles and the synthesis of bioactive heterocyclic compounds. He received several awards and is the author of 117 publications in international peer-reviewed journals.
