Albena LedererAlbena Lederer obtained her PhD in 1999 from the University of Mainz after her research in the field of physical chemistry of polymers at Max-Planck-Institute of Polymer Research Mainz. Since 2000 she is extensively investigating the physico-chemicalproperties of branched macromolecules. Since 2007 Albena Lederer is leader of the Polymer separation group at the Leibniz-Institute of Polymer Research Dresden. To her main research area belong the characterization of dendritic and multifunctional polymers in solution and the development of new separation methods for branched polymers. Read More Read Less
