Sarah M. Brosnan received her B.S. in chemistry from the University of Massachusetts Amherst while conducting research in Prof. E. Bryan Coughlin's group. She then went on to receive her Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill under the supervision of Prof. Valerie Sheares Ashby in 2012, were she developed novel biomaterials for unique applications. Currently, she is an NSF post-doctoral fellow working at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces under the supervision of Prof. Markus Antonietti and Prof. Helmut Schlaad.
Helmut Schlaad studied chemistry at the University of Mainz, Germany, and earned a doctoral degree in Physical Chemistry, under Axel H. E. Müller in 1997. After a one year post-doctoral fellowship with Rudolf Faust at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell, USA, he moved to the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany. He finished habilitation, mentored by Markus Antonietti, and became senior scientist in 2004. He recently joined the University of Potsdam as Professor (W2) of Polymer Chemistry. His research interests are directed towards polymer synthesis, smart functional materials, and bioinspired structures based on synthetic and biohybrid polymers.
