KATHARINA KOHSE-HÖINGHAUS was born in Germany's industrial Ruhr area in 1951. Science
fascinated her early on-this never changed and propelled her life into a stellar academic
career. After studying chemistry she cut her own path from atmospheric chemistry to combustion
science. Constantly she created new trails between physics chemistry materials science and
engineering to explore combustion pollutant emissions and new analytical techniques.
Challenges like a dual-career family and raising funds for cross-border science led to many
out-of-the-box initiatives including science education for kids and students. Katharina is
famous for never running out of fuel: She became the first female President of the
International Combustion Society and of Germany's Bunsen Society served on numerous boards and
received many awards. Her trailblazing life for women in STEM worldwide is remarkable and her
engaging story will be enjoyed by all! Info & Downloads: l-i-c.org 1137
