Christina Maria Tonauer is a PhD candidate in the research group of Thomas Loerting at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Leopold-Franzens University, Innsbruck, Austria. During her Master’s studies, she focused on synthesis, crystallization and characterization of high-density amorphous ice (HDA). Her thesis “Glassy Nuclei in Amorphous Ice – Novel Evidence for the Two-Liquids Nature of Water” was awarded by Springer and appeared in the Springer Spektrum series “BestMasters”. C.M.T. is a recipient of a DOC fellowship of the Austrian Academy of Sciences ÖAW. Her PhD project covers NIR spectroscopy and chemical reactivity in/of crystalline and amorphous high-pressure H2O-ices.
