Static and Dynamic Bioinspired Materials
Dr Andreas WALTHER
RWTH - DWI AACHEN, Aachen, Germany
Dr. Andreas Walther graduated from Bayreuth University in Germany in 2008 with a Ph.D. focusing on the self-assembly behavior and applications of Janus particles and other soft, complex colloids. After a postdoctoral stay with a focus on biomimetic hybrid materials at Aalto University (Helsinki, Finland), he returned to Germany and established his independent research group at the DWI – Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials in Aachen. His research interests concentrate on developing and understanding hierarchical self-assembly concepts inside and outside equilibrium, and on utilizing and connecting such processes to soft materials research – often following bioinspired design principles. A. Walther has published around 100 papers and has recently been awarded an ERC Starting grant, the Bayer Early Excellence in Science Award (for Materials) and the Reimund Stadler Young Investigator Award of the German Chemical Society.

Dynamic Single Chain Polymeric Nanoparticles: From Structure to Function
Prof. Anja PALMANS
TU EINDHOVEN, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Anja Palmans obtained a degree in chemical engineering (1992) at the Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) and continued with PhD on the topic of supramolecular chemistry (1997) in the group of Prof. E. W. Meijer. After a Postdoc in the group of Prof. P. Smith at the ETH Zürich (Switzerland) and working at DSM Research (The Netherlands), she became assistant professor at the department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the TU Eindhoven in 2005.
She is now an Associate Professor in the field of Macro-Organic Chemistry and focuses on the supramolecular polymerization of small molecules into well-defined ordered architectures and the controlled folding of macromolecules with pendant recognition motifs, to achieve enzyme-like activity in (cascade) catalytic reactions.

Dr Friedrich Georg SCHMIDT
EVONIK INDUSTRIES AG, Marl, Germany
Friedrich Georg Schmidt studied chemistry at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg i.Br.. After he got his PhD in Freiburg and a post-doc fellowship at the University of Karlsruhe he started his career in the central research department of the former Hüls AG in Marl / Germany. 1986 he became head of a new polymer blend pilot plant and the product development and quality control teams of two special engineering plastic families. 1996 he was appointed to join the Screening Committee of the Hüls AG, which evaluated trends and derived business options for the Hüls AG. As member of the management team of the Creavis GmbH, which was founded to conduct research to develop these business options, he headed several international projects since 1997. In 2002 he became responsible for the product development department in the Business Unit Coatings & Additives of Evonik Degussa. 2008 he became head of the Innovation Management - New Technologies within the Business Unit Coatings & Additives. Since 2013 he is responsible for the Intrapreneur project Composites 2.0 within the Project House Composites at the Evonik Creavis GmbH, the Strategic Research Unit of the Evonik Industries AG.
