Author: C. Remzi Becer

Dr. Becer is currently a senior lecturer in Materials Science at Queen Mary, University of London. He has been working on developing new polymer synthesis techniques and functional materials such as smart polymers, glycopolymers. The latter has been in the focus of Dr. Becer’s research in the last five years and he has been published several research and review articles on this topic. Dr. Becer has several collaboration partners working on glycopolymers and has good links with other academics working on this field all around the World. Dr. Hartmann is currently working as an independent Emmy Noether research groupleader at the MPI of Colloids and Interfaces in the Department of Biomolecular Systems (head: Prof. Peter H. Seeberger). Her research interests focus on the synthesis of biomimetic macromolecules and hydrogels combining synthetic scaffolds based on monodisperse, sequence-defined oligo/polymers with biological ligands such as sugars or peptides. She has published a number of papers related to her work on carbohydrate functionalized polymers and has several collaboration partners working in the area of carbohydrate and material research as well as good links with other academics working in this field around the World.
