Anja Mueller was born in Bremen, Germany, in 1968. She studied biology at the University of Regensburg, graduating with a Diplom in 1993. She obtained her Ph.D. degree from Washington University in St. Louis with Professor Karen L. Wooley in the field of polymer organic chemistry in 1998. The research focused on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of fluorinated hyperbranched polymers. In the same year she joined Professor David F. O’Brien’s group to pursue postdoctoral research combining her interests in biology and chemistry, concerning the controlled drug release from liposomes by light-induced polymerization. In 2001 she joined Clarkson University as an assistant professor. Her research interests are biomaterials, the utilization of biological energy for electronic devices, and molecular electronics.
