I am working at BASF as engineer and researcher in the field of chemical reaction engineering since 2010. In the same year I finished writing my Ph.D. thesis in the group of Prof. Lercher at the Technische Universität München (TUM). I wrote my Diploma thesis in the group of Prof. Schüth at the Max Planck Institute of Coal Research and got my degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in chemical engineering from the TUM in April 2007. As administrator and software engineer, I am working for some companies in the computer industry. In my free time I like to do sports like climbing, running, hiking, mountaineering, mountain biking, skiing or snowboarding.
My personal interests in science and engineering are (in alphabetical order): automation, catalysis, combinatorial chemistry, materials chemistry, physical chemistry, simulation and modeling, soft computing (evolutionary computing and artificial intelligence).

Have a look at my nice bookmark page. In my Flickr photostream, you will mostly find photos of my mountaineering tours. Feel free to challenge me to a nice little chess game.
