My interest in chemistry was initially aroused by daily phenonemons like the immiscibility of water and oil. Learning more about interactions of atoms and molecules I realized how important amphiphiles can be for fundamental knowledge about interactions in solution helping to create new materials and technologies based on their unique properties of hydro- and lipophilicity. Being a part of the RTG 2670, I am so happy and grateful to be able to continue research on amphiphiles and get access to amazing workshops and such a smart and kind network.

My fascination with the complex processes underlying everyday phenomena began in my childhood, which motivated me to pursue a degree in chemistry in 2021. For my Bachelor’s thesis, I studied the self-assembly of ultrashort peptides into hydrogels, which provided a deeper introduction to the field of non-covalent interactions and captured my interest for this field of research.
As a student talent in the GRK 2670, I look forward to exploring similar projects and concepts, building meaningful connections, and gaining knowledge for my future academic journey. I am honored to be part of BEAM and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.

I am interested in how nature’s complex systems work and how their examples can be used to solve modern-day problems and create and design new systems. For this reason, I applied as a BEAM student talent, to learn more about amphiphilic molecules and systems. The BEAM student talent further provides new perspectives from other people and their projects, which is very interesting and often helpful.
