Biography
Dr. Wendel Wohlleben is Senior Principal Scientist at BASF, Dept. of Material Physics with a second affiliation to the Dept. of Experimental Toxicology and Ecology. He studied physics (minor chemistry) at the University Heidelberg and at the Ecole Normale Sup茅rieure in Paris.
He obtained his PhD from the University of Munich with a biophysical thesis on energy harvesting in photosynthesis, performed at the Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics. The post-doc at Physical 九州影院, University Marburg was devoted to chemically resolved microscopy. Dr. Wohlleben is a researcher at BASF since 2005, interrupted by a sabbatical leave to the Weizmann Institute, Rehovot, and was visiting scientist at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, Boston (2012 to 2019).
At BASF, Dr. Wohlleben leads the research cluster on the impact assessment of nanomaterials, and another cluster on microplastics. His labs develop and apply methods to characterize the interaction between such colloids and their environment, e.g. for grouping purposes. New aspects consider lifecycle releases from advanced materials that combine several components to achieve an intended functionality.
