Higher Education

I obtained a Diploma in Biology, which is the German equivalent of a USA Master’s degree, at the University of Rostock (Germany) in February 2005. My thesis was conducted under the supervision of Professor Dr. Habil. Ragnar Kinzelbach, and in direct collaboration with Dr. Habil. Hans Pohl.

From June 2005 to August 2011 I have been a graduate student in the lab of Dr. Elke Buschbeck in the Department of Biology at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio.
