    Fascinated
    Natural Scientist

    I am a natural scientist originally from Rhineland-Palatinate, with a doctorate in bioprocess engineering from the Technical University of Munich, currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in Austria. My academic journey began with a degree in Bioengineering from the Technical University of Bingen, followed by a Master’s program in Bioprocess Engineering at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern-Landau. It was here that I first encountered protein chemistry and nanotechnology, sparking my enduring fascination.

    Since then, I have been captivated by proteins, their structure-function relationships, and the potential of leveraging natural protein domains to address scientific questions.

    My doctoral research, conducted at the Chair of Brewing and Beverage Technology at the Technical University of Munich, focused on fundamental questions regarding the relationship between the singular cell age of yeasts and fermentation performance, utilizing recombinantly synthesized proteins. I also explored the transferability of these findings to other fields, such as pharmaceutical production and food chemistry.

    Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Medical University of Graz, where I am furthering my expertise in these areas and contributing to the resolution of complex scientific challenges. My work also focuses on diagnostics and the development of innovative methods for the rapid detection of pathogenic organisms and signaling molecules.
