Ulrike Kramm is full professor on catalysts and electrocatalyst at TU Darmstadt. Her work focusses on the development and structural characterization of (ideally) non-precious metal catalysts for various electrocatalytic applications including fuel cells, metal air battery, CO2 conversion, solar fuels.
Ulrike Kramm studied applied physics at the university of applied science in Zwickau, Germany. The diploma thesis was obtained on nitrogen doped titania for photoelectrocatalytic water splitting at the Hahn-Meitner-Institute. Her PhD work focussed on the structural characterization of pyrolysed iron-porphyrin electrocatalysts. The PhD was obtained from TU Berlin. She was postdocs at different locations as Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, BTU Cottbus and INRS-EMT in Varennes, Canada. Before she became a full professor at the Department of Chemistry, she had a junior professorship also at TU Darmstadt, within the Graduate School of Excellence Energy Science and Engineering. She received different awards including the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz award, the Curious Mind Award Energie und Mobilität and a BMBF young research group.
