Daniel Messmer

Freelance production of material for university-level lectures in polymer chemistry and polymer science. The courses include both basic and advanced classes, among other topics teaching: - Basic & advanced polymer chemistry - Essentials of polymer analytics - Structure-property relationships in polymers - Applications of polymers & plastics - Current research topics in polymer science

Researcher in the Polymeric Materials group of Prof. Dr. Athina Anastasaki at theETH Zurich department of Materials. My responsibilities included: - Research on aspects of photo-ATRP - Set-up of new chemistry labs - Liaison to the ETH community - Scientific writing (journal articles & reports) - Assistance in the acquisition of external funds

PhD research in the group of Prof. Dr. A. Dieter Schlüter, ETH Zurich Department of Materials. I studied various aspects of the synthesis and analystics of highly branched (dendronized) polymers and collected experience in the following fields: - Organic synthesis (small molecules & polymers) - Polymer analogous reactions - Polymer analytics - Collection and evaluation of various types of scientific data - Scientific writing - Supervision of teaching laboratories and student research projects
