Christian Kuttner studied chemistry at the University of Bayreuth, Germany. After graduating in 2009, he conducted his doctoral studies on macromolecular interfaces of organic/inorganic composites and colloidal materials in the group of Prof. Andreas Fery. As a  postdoctoral researcher, he developed nanostructured materials with optical functionalities at the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research (IPF) in Dresden. In 2018, he joined Prof. Luis M. Liz-Marzán’s research group at CIC biomaGUNE, Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain, where he continued his investigations as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow. His research interests comprise the synthesis of colloidal particles and their directed assembly into superstructures and optically functional materials. In 2021, he joined Springer Nature as an editor for Nature Communications, overseeing manuscripts  in physical chemistry and nanomaterial sciences. In 2022, he declined a professorship in “Chemistry with a Focus on Nanomaterials” to continue his editorial career. Recently, in 2024, he was awarded the Bundestag Fellowship “Science meets Politics”.
