Katharina is a student on the OxICFM CDT and is working on heterobimetallic catalysts for the ring-opening copolymerisation of carbon dioxide with epoxides.
Originally from Germany, Katharina completed her undergraduate degree in Chemistry at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. Her honours project was focused on tri-metallic catalysts for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction. In 2018, she undertook a summer project under the supervision of Prof. Erwin Reisner at the University of Cambridge, investigating hybrid photocatalytic system for carbon dioxide reduction reactions.
