Early life and education

Kramm was a student at Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau.[1] Her undergraduate thesis involved nitrogen doped titania for photoelectrocatalytic water splitting, and she performed her experiments at the Hahn-Meitner-Institute. She joined Technical University of Berlin for doctoral research, where she started to research pyrolysed iron-porphyrin electrocatalysts. She was a postdoctoral researcher at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, BTU Cottbus and INRS-EMT.[2][3]

Research and career

Kramm leads a research group at Technische Universität Darmstadt that focuses on catalysis.[4] She works to design new catalytic materials that can improve the energy efficiency of preparation processes. She has focussed on M-N-C catalysts, specifically, Fe-N-C.[5][6] Fe-N-C catalysts are almost as active as platinum catalysts, but the iron-based catalysts are not stable enough to use in the automotive industry.[7]

Kramm also works on Mössbauer spectroscopy,[8] providing detailed elemental information about materials, including the chemical environment of certain nuclei.
