Fridolin O. Sommer received his B. Sc. in chemistry in 2015 from the TU Dortmund where he investigated the telomerization of b-myrcene with aminated sugars under the supervision of Prof. Arno Behr. Subsequent, he continued his studies in the group of Dr. Andreas J. Vorholt in the field of homogenous catalysis and graduated in 2017 with his M. Sc. for the investigation of aqueous multi-phase hydroaminomethylation with functionalized amines. Currently, he is a PhD student at the chair of Prof. Udo Kragl at the University of Rostock and investigates the formation of membranes out of polymerized ionic liquids and their application in filtration processes.
