Christian Roßner

Dr. Christian Roßner is a Group Leader in the Hybrid Nanomaterials research group at the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden and holds an Assistant Professor position at the University of Chemistry and Technology (UCT Prague). His work focuses on polymer-grafted colloids and supercolloids, exploring their surface properties for advanced catalytic and sensing applications.

• Research highlights include tailored macromolecular synthesis and nanomaterial characterization to understand structure-effect relationships in plasmon-mediated photocatalysis and colorimetric biosensing.
• Current projects are supported by grants such as the Liebig Fellowship (Fonds der Chemischen Industrie) and DFG-funded initiatives on nanocomposite thin films.
• His team includes researchers like Lauren Ball, Yue Dong, Shayan (PhD graduate, 2024), and Marina Sebastian (Springer Poster Award, 2024).
• Recent publications emphasize nanomaterial self-assembly, catalytic activity enhancement, and SERS probe activation mechanisms.

Key collaborations and affiliations span the Leibniz Research Alliance 'Advanced Materials Safety' and international doctoral exchange programs.
