Curriculum Vitae
Sharafudheen Pottanam Chali graduated (BS-MS) with distinction in 2018 from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune, India and obtained his Ph.D. degree in Natural Science from the University of Muenster, Germany, in August 2021, within the CiM-IMPRS graduate program (Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre-International Max Planck Research School). During his Ph.D. he worked on biodegradable supramolecular polymer nanocarriers for intracellular delivery applications under the guidance of Prof. Bart Jan Ravoo. In September 2021, he joined the Department of Physical Chemistry of Polymers at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) as a postdoctoral researcher, working with Prof. Katharina Landfester. In 2024, he was promoted to project coordinator of the Nanocapsules subgroup in the department.
