Jill Fortmann studied mechanical engineering at the Ruhr University Bochum. She wrote both her Bachelor's and Master's theses at the Chair of Materials Discovery and Interfaces of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alfred Ludwig. In her bachelor's thesis, she focussed on the stability of high-entropy alloys (Cantor Alloy) and in her master's thesis on copper-based thin films and their effect against coronaviruses.
In her PhD, Jill Fortmann is working on vanadium dioxide-based thin-film shape memory nanoactuators.
