Elisabeth Kreidt

Elisabeth studied chemistry in Bochum, Germany. She then did her Ph.D. with Michael Seitz at the University of Tübingen, developing stable, functionalized lanthanoid complexes and studying their photophysical and magnetic properties. After graduating summa cum laude in 2018, she moved to the group of David Leigh in Manchester. Her postdoctoral work focuses on the synthesis and study of molecular knots and machines. In the future she plans to combine aspects from both fields to prepare lanthanoid coordination compounds with new dynamic functionalities.
