We were delighted to support poster prize awards along with RSC Applied Polymers and Polymer Chemistry at the recent GDCh Makro conference in Dresden, Germany which was held from 16 – 18 September 2024. Congratulations to our winners, Annalena Groß and Ronja Bodesheimer. Find out more about them below.
Annalena Groß studied chemistry at the University of Freiburg, Germany, specializing in polymer science. Her master’s thesis focused on the characterization and phase behavior of polystyrene microgels, under the guidance of Prof. Bartsch. Following her graduation, she held a position as a research assistant at NEUSTART KULTUR. Keen to re-enter academic research, Annalena Groß started her PhD in February 2024 in the junior research group of Dr. Céline Calvino at the University of Freiburg. Her work focuses on the development of photo-thermo processes for the reversible crosslinking of polymers. Annalena received a prize for her poster entitled, ‘Exploring the Multiresponsiveness of Quinolinone Motifs for Reversible Polymerizations’ |
Ronja Bodesheimer received a Bachelor in Science in Applied Chemistry from BTU Cottbus Senftenberg Germany in 2020 with a thesis entitled ‘Synthesis and characterisation of hydrogels with potential anti-biofouling activity’. Ronja then received a Master of Science in chemical engineering from HTW Dresden, Germany in 2021 with the thesis ‘Synthesis and characterisation of amphiphic star-based block copolymers for homogenous connetworks’ before becoming a research associate in the InnoVET project CLOU at HTW Dresden. Since 2022, Ronja is a research associate and PhD student in the InsBIOration project at IPF Dresden and TU Dresden in Germany. Ronja received a prize for their poster entitled, ‘Bio-inspired polymer metallisation with the adhesion promoter dopamine’ |
