Elisabeth Klemm

Prof. Elisabeth Klemm was my Ph.D. supervisor in Jena, Germany, at Friedrich-Schiller University. She dedicated her entire life to synthetic polymer chemistry. She has enriched the lives of countless graduate students and has sacrificed everything for them.

She changed my life in a very profound way and I would not be where I am today without her.
