- Grading reports, midterms, presentations - Supervising students in their labwork - Invigilating exams - Providing support to students in need during regular office hours

- Laid foundations for my diploma thesis (details above) - Synthezied redox active polymers on the basis of activated esters and characterization of those polymers

- Utilized a low-pressure plasma reactor to deposit thiol-terminated surfaces with allylmercaptan - Analyzed the surfaces by IRRAS FTIR and XPS - Studied the stability of the surfaces in water and different solvents

- Tutored undergraduate students - Designed and grading assignments - Invigilated exams

Classes taken: - Foundation of fluid mechanics - Process dynamics and control - Advanced biochemical engineering For conducted research please refer to the experience section

"Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications” Master Class on “Biomedical Applications of Cold Plasmas”

The regular chemistry program consisted of various classes and labs in organic, inorganic, analytical and physical chemistry. My additional elective subject was polymer chemistry which lead me to my diploma thesis in the field of plasma polymerization.
