Philipp Primus is an​ interdisciplinary researcher in Physical Chemistry and a Photographer. In all of his work, he is passionate about using light as his tool, investigating the properties of molecules and atoms and capturing photographic images to tell human stories. After finishing his degree in Chemistry, Philipp went on to focus his research on the development of novel, optical methods during his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry at Potsdam University. His current research project investigates structural differences in nanomaterials designed for clean energy production in fuel cells, using predominantly optical methods. What happens at the intersection of science with broader society, how can we create the opportunities to transform our shared myths and ultimately our societies? How can we avoid a dogmatic view of things? These questions lie beneath his work and motivate his scientific and photographic work. Philipp Primus is a interdisciplinary researcher in Physical
