Emma Maria Wolffhardt (born 27 July 1899; died 1997) was a German Industrial Chemist at BASF and she was the first women chemist at BASF who had her own research area.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Furthermore, she was the first to use the calotte model for understanding and improving organic synthesis.[3][7][8]
Life
Wolffhardt studied at the University of Würzburg and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.[7] She did her doctorate with Stefan Goldschmidt.[7] Wolffhardt started her career at BASF in 1925.[1] At first, she had to work in the literature office of the main laboratory.[1] She was very unhappy in this job because she was not allowed to work in research.[1] Months later, Alwin Mittasch, who was head of the laboratory at the time, searched for an assistant, and Wolffhardt applied and was appointed Mittasch assistant.[1] Then, she supported Mittasch in his scientific work.[1] In 1940, she received her own research area, where she researched the production of aviation fuel.[1] She was the first to use the calotte model for understanding and improving organic synthesis.[3][7][8][9] In this way, Wolffhardt was the first German researcher to archieve a yield of 8-10% for triptane. In 1950, Wolffhardt was the first women university graduate in the history of the company who celebrated her 25th anniversary.[1] In 1960, she retired.[1] She died in 1997 in Heidelberg.[1] She had an adopted daughter.[4]
