Jutta Rieger received her PhD from the University of Liège (Belgium) and the University of Grenoble (France) on the synthesis and assembly of functional ε-caprolactone-based polymer architectures. After a postdoctoral fellowship on the surface-modfication of non-wovens at ICMMO in 2006 (Orsay, France) in collaboration with Macopharma, she joined in 2007 Prof. Bernadette Charleux’s group in the Laboratoire de Chimie de Polymères (LCP) at UPMC (now Sorbonne University) and started working on RAFT polymerization in heterogeneous media. Since 2009 she is an independent CNRS researcher at IPCM in the same institution. Her current research focuses on the synthesis of functional polymeric materials using homogeneous or heterogeneous controlled radical polymerization processes, and in particular on polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). In 2021 she was promoted ‘Research Director’ at the CNRS. She has published more than 77 articles, 5 book chapters and 3 patents.
