Eva Blasco

Eva Blasco studied chemistry at the University of Zaragoza (Spain), where she also completed her doctorate. She then received an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in 2014, with which she carried out her research in the groups of Prof. C. Barner-Kowollik (Polymer Chemistry) and Prof. M. Wegener (Physics) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany. During this time, she spent a research stay in Brisbane (Australia) and subsequently worked as a group leader at KIT. In October 2020, she started as Junior Professor at Heidelberg University and in January 2023 she was appointed W3 Professor at the newly founded Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials (IMSEAM).

She has published more than 125 publications and has been awarded several prizes including the Ernst-Haage and Dr.-Hermann-Schnell (GDCh) prizes in 2022, the Young Investigator Award of the Spanish Chemical Society in 2023 and the 2024 Advance Science Young Innovator Award.

Her research interests include the development of new functional and sustainable polymer materials for 3D and 4D printing, especially on the micro- and nanoscale.
