Sarah Lembke
Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research
Main Focus
Sarah's research centers on designing and
synthesizing nanocarriers for lubrication applications. She employs
miniemulsion techniques for synthesizing the nanocarriers and conducts chemical and
mechanical characterization before assessing the performance of the nanocarriers in tribological contacts.
Curriculum Vitae
Sarah earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry with
honors from the Technical University of Dortmund in 2019. She then pursued a
Master of Science degree in Chemistry at Heidelberg University. During her
master's program, she conducted research at Lund University in Sweden under the
supervision of Prof. Daniel Strand. In October 2021, she joined the research
group of Prof. Katharina Landfester to undertake her master's thesis, focusing
on Silica Nanocapsules for enzyme reactions. Following the completion of her
master's thesis, she remained at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research
(MPI-P), where she began her Ph.D. in the summer of 2022, concentrating on
Nanocarriers for lubrication applications.
