Studied chemistry at the LMU University of Munich. Main subjects inorganic and organic chemistry.
Master's thesis in the Group of H. Dube, Ph.D. and Prof. T. Carell.
Ph.D. thesis in the group of Prof. M. Kalesse of the LUH University of Hannover.
Worked in two postdoc positions at Kyoto University: with M. Nakamura and H. Kaji, followed by a position at JLU Gießen with H. Wegner.

Has a strong interest in theory. And has no spare time, being an organic chemist.

At the moment I am representing myself with a zincporphyrin as a tribute to my master’s thesis.
