Konrad Meister

Konrad Meister is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Boise State University and an affiliated group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research. His work asks how life thrives in freezing habitats: why some molecules prevent ice growth, while others initiate its formation. By uncovering nature’s strategies for dealing with extreme cold, he seeks to inspire new approaches to controlling ice across science, technology, society, and the environment.
