Biography

Kristian studied chemistry at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena (Germany) and the Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands). In 2010 he was a visiting researcher in the group of Prof. Craig J. Hawker (University of California, Santa Barbara) before he completed his Ph.D. at the end of 2011 under the supervision of Prof. Ulrich S. Schubert in Jena. In 2012 Kristian received a prestigious Alexander von Humboldt-fellowship to conduct research in the groups of Prof. Frank Caruso (The University of Melbourne) and Prof. David M.
