I was born in 1995 on christmas eve in the beautiful city of Cologne in Germany. On a field trip day during my time at school we visited the laboratories at the chemical department of the university here, which eventually inspired me to start studying chemistry in 2014. I really enjoy the combination of theoretical and practical aspects that this field of science encompasses. In 2019, I successfully completed my bachelor's degree, investigating iodine catalysis via halogen-bonding with
Prof. Martin Breugst, who is now a Professor at the university of Chemnitz.
Thereafter, I continued to study and joined the research group of
Prof. Stephanie Kath-Schorr for my masters degree on unnatural nucleobase analogs.
I'm also interested in politics, music and cooking and in the past performed Tae-Kwon-Do and played some piano. Before my path in chemistry started, I wanted to be become a computer programmer, which I guess, resulted now in this website.
