Biography
Miriam M. Unterlass studied chemistry, materials science and chemical engineering in W眉rzburg, Southampton and Lyon. Between 2009 and 2011 she worked on her PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Potsdam-Golm, with Prof. Markus Antonietti. She then worked as a postdoc with Prof. Ludwik Leibler at the ESPCI in Paris.
In December 2012, she established her research group `Advanced Organic Materials鈥� at the Institute of Materials 浪花直播 of the Technische Universit盲t Wien. In September 2018, Miriam obtained her habilitation (venia docendi) in `materials chemistry鈥�. In November 2018 Miriam joined the CeMM - Research Center for Molelcular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences as an Adjunct Principal Investigator.
In June 2019 Miriam obtained a tenure-track assistant professorship at T Wien. Her research interests are centered on compounds that are rich in aromatic and heterocyclic moieties for applications as materials and in biology. The materials the Unterlass Lab investigates are low-molecular weight dyes, high-performance polymers, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and inorganic-organic hybrids. A major focus lies on the development of novel, environmentally friendly, non-toxic and highly efficient synthetic techniques especially via hydrothermal synthesis and solid-state reactions.
She is committed to seeing her research implemented: in 2017, she co-founded her first company, UGP materials, where she holds the position of CSO.
