Kai Herrmann received his B.Sc. in Nano Science at the University of Hamburg before advancing to the University of Bayreuth for his M.Sc. in Polymer Science. He is now a Ph.D. student at the chair of Physical Chemistry I, working on thermal characterization techniques to gain insights into thermal transport in soft matter.
Nelson W. Pech-May graduated in 2009 as Mechanical Engineer from the Merida Institute of Technology (Mexico). He did his PhD thesis in the field of Photothermal Methods for materials characterization and non-destructive testing and obtained in 2016 a double degree on applied physics from CINVESTAV Unidad Merida (Mexico) and UPV/EHU (Spain). In 2017, he moved to the University of Bayreuth (Germany) for two years postdoc at the chair of Physical Chemistry I. Currently he is hired as postdoc at BAM Berlin (Germany) in division 8.7 Thermographic Methods. His interests are application of active and passive thermography for non-destructive testing and materials characterization.
Markus Retsch received his diploma degree from the University of Bayreuth in the field of Polymer and Colloid Chemistry in 2006. After his PhD thesis at the Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany, on complex architectures based on colloidal self-assembly, he moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2009. After two years working as a Postdoc at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, he returned to the University of Bayreuth. Following his Lichtenberg professorship, he became tenured in 2018 and holds the chair for Physical Chemistry I. His interests lie on hierarchically structured, sustainable materials for energy management applications.
