Career and experience
Anna Widera works for Troesch Scheidegger Werner AG since March 2023.
Anna Widera attended patent law lectures already during her chemistry studies. Her career aspiration as a patent attorney grew in the course of her scientific career during which the symbiosis between the applied research and the protection of product development processes have gained an increasing importance for her.
Anna Widera studied chemistry and biochemistry at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (2011-2016). Her area of specialisation and her M. Sc. thesis lied in the inorganic chemistry, specifically in the synthesis and properties of nitrogen-rich oxidizers. Subsequently, she obtained her PhD in the area of inorganic boron chemistry at the Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg (2016-2020), followed by a postdoctoral research fellowship at ETH Zurich (2021-2023). During the latter Anna Widera worked on photopolymerizable materials and photoinitiators for industrial and biological applications.
