An interview with
Dr. Katharina Hohenwallner | Application Specialist
“A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales.”
– Marie Curie
1) What is your role at Plasmion?
I am a Field Application Specialist and joined the company in December 2024. My role bridges laboratory work and direct customer engagement – I perform demonstrations, support customers, and develop applications for SICRIT® and HaVoc.
2) What skills are particularly valuable for your work at Plasmion?
I think one of the most valuable skills I bring is my genuine fascination with the technology, as well as a willingness to try new things. My PhD experience taught me how to handle challenges and adapt when things don’t go as planned, which is essential in application development.
3) What do you value most about working at Plasmion?
I value many things at Plasmion, especially the great teamwork, open discussions, and strong support among colleagues. Beyond that, I love the drive for innovation, the excitement of pushing mass spectrometry into new areas, and the outside-the-box thinking that makes every day exciting. It’s simply fun to work here!
