  • Scientist Analytical Development at Roche

  • PhD Researcher in Synthetic Organic Chemistry at University of Basel, Department Chemistry
    Sep 2012 - Apr 2017 · 4 yrs 8 mos

    My PhD studies required a deep understanding of the structure-property relationship in organic materials as the research focus spans chemistry, physics and material science. My projects were addressed on the design and syntheses of ferrocene grafted phenylethynyl backbones that are rotationally restricted through cyclization. The mono- and bis-ferrocene macrocycles were envisaged as components in molecular electronics and as molecular machines. The interdisciplinary experiments between chemistry and physics were performed in collaboration with national and international research groups and culminated in the release of two first author publications in the European Journal of Organic Chemistry and in Organometallics.
