Doctoral Thesis Award of the Friedrich Schiller University
Dr Karl Michael Ziems
- Title of doctoral thesis: "High-frequency light-matter interaction in atoms and molecules"
- Supervisor: Prof. Dr Stefanie Gräfe, Institute of Physical Chemistry
The doctoral thesis prize is donated by the Gesellschaft der Freunde und Förderer of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. The doctoral thesis prizes of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena 2024 were awarded as part of the Schiller Day ceremony on 28 June 2024 de.
Graduate Award Chemistry
Lucas Gregor, M.Sc. Chemistry
- Title of the master's dissertation: "Total Synthesis of Mycofactocines"
- Supervisor: Prof. Dr Ivan Vilotijecić, Institute of Organic Chemistry and Macromolecular Chemistry
Lucas Gregor is a truly exceptional chemist in the making. His commitment to studying any topic in detail and pushing the limits of understanding of organic chemistry is not seen often. In his thesis, he has set the foundation for the development of tools that will shine light on the roles mycofactocins play in mycobacteria with the ultimate goal of identifying new drug candidates and targets for development of new treatments against mycobacterial infections. He doesn’t back off from a challenge and, with his strong motivation and perseverance, I am confident that he will continue on the path of success during his doctoral studies.

Doctoral Thesis Award Chemistry
Dr Josefine Meurer
- Title of doctoral thesis: "Shape-memory polymers based on reversible supramolecular interactions"
- Supervisor: Prof. Dr Ulrich S. Schubert, Institute of Organic Chemistry and Macromolecular Chemistry
This prize is sponsored by the Deutschen Stiftung Zukunftsgestaltung.
Dr Meurer was an outstanding doctoral student and I am very pleased to have supervised her during her doctorate. She is characterised by a high degree of chemical and scientific creativity and was thus able to gain profound insights into shape memory materials. She was not afraid to pursue challenging synthesis and strategies, always in pursuit of scientific knowledge, and for this reason she is the ideal recipient of this year's Faculty of Chemistry Doctoral Prize.
Prof. Dr Ulrich S. Schubert
Graduate Award Geosciences
Hannes Stengel, B.Sc. Biogeosciences
- Title of the bachelor's dissertation: "Elemental Distributon in tidal-facies-escape structures of the Archean Moodies Group, Barberton Greenstone Belt, South Africa"
- Supervisor: Prof. Dr Christoph Heubeck, Institute of Geosciences
Hannes Stengel combines intellectual quality with a high degree of self-discipline, curiosity and a structured approach. He was soon finished with the "compulsory programme" on the micro-XRF scanner, so he quickly produced further results of the highest quality using Raman spectroscopy. In the discussion, Mr Stengel knew how to critically evaluate data and publications, recognise appeal|objections and omissions and track down the unknown. The results, which he revised quickly and easily, have since been published in a respected international scientific journal. It almost goes without saying that Mr Stengel is always extremely polite, punctual, reliable and well prepared. He is well on the way to a promising scientific career. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart!

Doctoral Thesis Award Geosciences
Dr Phillipp Balling
- Title of doctoral thesis: "Structural evolution of the central part of the External Dinarides fold-and-thrust belt"
- Supervisor: Prof. Dr Kamil Ustaszewski, Institute of Geosciences
In his doctoral thesis, which he completed summa cum laude, Philipp Balling focussed on the structural and tectonic development of the central segment of the external Dinarides in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Thanks to his meticulousness, perseverance and attention to detail, he was able to gain new and sometimes surprising insights into this region. He has also helped to revise existing opinions about the geodynamic development of the Dinarides from the early Neogene (around 20 million years ago) to the present day. Philipp is now not only a sought-after contact at our institute, but is also increasingly in demand as an assessment|assessment report|review and invited speaker.
