June 2024
How did you learn about the UFZ?
I first heard of the UFZ from a classmate during my bachelor in Heidelberg. Since there is little to no environmental research for biochemistry students there, I decided to come to Leipzig.
Why did you come to the UFZ?
I wanted to persue a biochemistry career that focusses on environmental aspects and biotechnology. The close collaboration of Leipzig University and the UFZ allowed me to make that happen.
Hobbies
swimming, playing trombone, biking and video games
