Christopher Barner-Kowollik (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, KIT) is the winner of the 2012 International Biannual Belgian Polymer Group Award. This honor is given for contributions to polymer science and collaborations with Belgian polymer research groups, and previous winners include Ulrich S. Schubert (2010), James L. Hedrick (2008), and Klaus Müllen (2006). Barner-Kowollik studied at the Universities of Konstanz and Göttingen, and he received his PhD in 2000 for work supervised by Michael Buback at Göttingen. He subsequently joined the University of New South Wales as a research associate with Tom Davis, and started his independent career at the same institution in 2002. He was appointed Chair of Polymer Chemistry at the KIT in 2008. Barner-Kowollik’s research interests include the synthesis of complex macromolecular architectures, fundamental investigations into polymerization mechanisms, and characterization and high-resolution imaging of macromolecular chain structures. He has reported in Angewandte Chemie on phototriggered Diels–Alder surface (bio)functionalization1a and (bio)molecular surface patterning.1b Barner-Kowollik is on the Executive Advisory Board of the Wiley-VCH Macromolecular journals
