Christiane Volkmann (born Seidler)
Christiane Volkmann studied chemistry at Ulm University and graduated in December 2013 with a Master's degree. During her Master's studies, she participated in an Erasmus program and worked at TU Delft (Netherlands) in Prof. Dr. Ulf Hanefeld's group. After her Master Thesis in Prof. Dr. Tanja Weil's group at Ulm University, she joined the group 2014 for her PhD. In June 2016, Christiane moved together with the Weil group from Ulm University to the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz. Her work focuses on combination of synthetic organic chemistry with protein/peptide modifications to create newly designed biohybrid materials.
