Ingo Krossing studied chemistry in Munich (LMU) and finished his doctoral thesis 1997 (with Prof. H. Nöth). From 1997 to 1999, he worked as a Feodor Lynen postdoc with Prof. J. Passmore at UNB in Fredericton, NB, Canada. In 1999, he started his independent career as a Liebig-, and later a DFG-Heisenberg-Fellow at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) (mentor: Prof. H. Schnöckel). 2004 he changed as an assistant professor to the Ecole Polytechnic Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), before being appointed Chair of Inorganic Chemistry at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg in 2006.

His research interests cover ionic systems from reactive cations to ionic liquids, over electrochemical energy storage to the development of unified acidity and reducity scales.
