Research
The Ettlinger Research Group concentrates on the recovery of resources and the treatment of water with the aid of porous composite materials. The focus here is on the production and functionalisation of innovative filter systems based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These crystalline, porous 3D structures are constructed using a "building block principle" with inorganic (metal centres) and organic (ligands) "building blocks". This allows countless combinations of different "building blocks". MOFs therefore represent an ideal, extremely versatile material platform that can be customised specifically to your application.

Romy
Dr. Romy Ettlinger is a Junior group leader (Liebig Fellowship) at the Technical University of Munich in Germany investigating resource recovery and the remediation of water using porous composites. She obtained her PhD in 2020 at the University of Augsburg in Germany establishing metal–organic framework (MOF) materials for medicinal applications. Subsequently, she was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of St Andrews (United Kingdom) focussing on the development of various porous hybrid framework materials and composites as well as their functionalisation for medical and environmental applications. She is dedicated to uniting like-minded researchers across Europe (and beyond) through the COST Action CA22147 EU4MOFs (https://eu4mofs.com/), and supporting young researches to let their passion for science grow. Further her aim is to empower girls and young women to immerse themselves in the natural sciences through outreach programs and the female researcher equality (FREQ) network of the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie.
