Life

Lotsch studied chemistry at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and completed it with a diploma in Chemistry in 2000.[1] In 2006, she finished on her dissertation in the group of Wolfgang Schnick at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.[1] From 2007 to 2008, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of G. A. Ozin at the University of Toronto.[1] From 2009 to the beginning of 2017, she was an assistant professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.[1] From 2009 to the beginning of 2017, she was also an independent group leader Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research.[1] In 2017, she became Director of the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research and an honorary professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.[1]

Research

Her research focuses on rational materials synthesis at the interface of solid-state chemistry, materials chemistry, and nanochemistry.[1] Materials of her research interest are:[1]

  • New materials for energy conversion and storage (e.g., porous frameworks, lithium solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries)[1]
  • Photonic nanostructures for optical sensing[1]
  • 2D nanosheet materials and artificial heterostructures[1]

Selected publications
