A current CV is available for download (.pdf), in brief ...
I am a German scientist, born in
Garmisch-Partenkirchen and have lived in
Mittenwald,
Bad Reichenhall,
Tübingen and
San Diego.
I graduated in Biology (Plant Physiology, Genetics, Biochemistry) from the Eberhard-Karls-University Tübingen,
wrote my thesis at the
Salk Institute for Biological Studies in
La Jolla,
California and I am currently a scientist in
Detlef Weigel's laboratory at the
Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen pursuing a PhD and a Fellow in Freshwater Sciences at the
Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) in Berlin, working with
Michael Monaghan and
Hans-Peter Grossart.
Besides learning new things every day, my interests include life, science, hiking, travel, skiing and flying.
If close to some water I also enjoy diving. Recently I drove a lot with motorboats.
