Anna Fischer (born 1981) is a German chemist who is a Professor of Nanomaterials at the University of Freiburg. Her research considers the development of nanomaterials for electrocatalysis.

Early life and education

Fischer was born in Mainz and attended high school at the Lycée Buffon and Lycée Henri-IV. She moved to the Pierre and Marie Curie University for her undergraduate studies, where she specialised in physics and chemistry. She completed her graduate degree at the École normale supérieure, where she studied molecular materials. Her thesis considered the development of mesoporous materials (SnO2 and TiO2) using evaporation induced self assembly. She moved to the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces for her doctoral research, where she created nanostructured metal nitrides through hard templating. She stayed at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces as a postdoctoral researcher, where she developed biominerals.

Research and career

In 2009, Fischer was appointed as a group leader at Technische Universität Berlin. She was promoted to Professor of Inorganic Functional Materials at the University of Freiburg in 2014. She was elected Vice Chair of the German Chemical Society Chemistry and Energy Division in 2022.

In 2023, Fischer showcased redox polymer electrode materials for aluminium ion batteries. The polymer was based on phenothiazine, and achieved a record-breaking storage capacity.
