New student representatives:

Martin Schaier

• „A crucial aspect of the PhD is getting in touch with students from other groups. It helps create more exchange and collaboration and leads to a more welcoming environment. My goal would be to make it easier for new PhD students to get started and to organize more events where the community can be strengthened.“

• Thesis title: LA-ICP-TOFMS as a tool for evaluating metal-based anticancer drugs in the tumor microenvironment
• Institute: Department of Analytical Chemistry
• Supervisor: Gunda Köllensperger
• Panel B

Philip Verdross

• „I would like to apply to be a student representative to make teaching freer and easier during doctoral studies. I would like to see a simpler and more personalized study for the doctoral students of the University of Vienna and I would like to work for a stronger networking of the individual departments, so that there can be synergies between the experiences gained at the university. In this sense, I would like to advocate for a more open community and teaching at the University of Vienna that is characterized by student participation."

• Thesis title: Lignocellulosic materials for the purification of water from heavy metal
• Institute: Department of Material Chemistry
• Supervisor: Alexander Bismarck

New deputy student representative:

Tadija Kekic

• „I would like to put my name forward as a candidate for the deputy student representative for the next term. I have gained experience in student representation as a student of University of Zagreb, Croatia. There, I was student representative for 5 years on undergraduate and graduate level, member of ethical committee of Faculty of Science and a student representative in the Faculty Colloquium. Personally, I am interested in working on improving the DosChem program and organise students events."

• Thesis title: Incorporation of 2′O-PivOM and PrOM RNA Phosphoramidites In RNA Microarray Fabrication by Photolithography for the High-throughput Preparation of High-density RNA Oligonucleotide Libraries
• Institute: Institute of Inorganic Chemistry
• Supervisor: Mark Manuel Somoza, co-supervised by Jory Lietard
