Konrad Meister
Konrad Meister is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Boise State University and a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research. He earned his PhD in physical chemistry from Ruhr University Bochum and conducted postdoctoral research as a Marie Curie Fellow at AMOLF in the Netherlands. His research focuses on how biological macromolecules, including ice-nucleating and antifreeze proteins, control the formation and growth of ice and how these mechanisms can be translated into practical applications. He previously held a position at the University of Alaska Southeast and participated in numerous Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, which shaped his fascination with cold-adapted organisms and the control of ice formation in polar environments.
