About me
B.Sc. Chemistry, Heidelberg University Specializations: Physical & Computational Chemistry
M.Sc Chemistry, Heidelberg University. Thesis title: Novel 4D Printable Systems Based on Interpenetrating Polymer Networks
During my studies, I worked at the interface of polymer chemistry and materials science, where I used experimental and analytical techniques to synthesize materials, optimize formulations and tailor their properties for applications in energy storage and additive manufacturing. I am fascinated by how advanced characterization techniques allow us to understand, design and refine material properties by analyzing structures fromt he molecular to the macroscopic level.

About my PhD research
Subject: Shear-induced transitions inplant-protein containing gels
Research description: Colloidal gels play a crucial role in food systems as they determine the texture and functionality of many products. By tuning the properties of plant protein-containing gels employing shear as an external stimulus, I aim to drive innovation in food science.
Key words: Colloidal gels, Biopolymers, Inclusions, Microscopy, Rheology
