I was born and raised in the south of Austria (Fürstenfeld) but moved to Vienna to study Food and Biotechnology at the BOKU University.

I obtained both my Master and Ph.D. in the group of ^^^Roland Ludwig^^^, where I focused on the biochemical investigation of fungal redox-enzymes and their application in biocatalysis and biorefinery [1, 2]. In particular, I studied the kinetics and electron transfer reactions of fungal cellobiose dehydrogenases (CDH), and their involvement in lignocellulose degradation [3, 4, 5, 6].

The activation of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases by CDH later became a central point of my research [7, 8].

Since April 2018 I am working at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) in Prof. Nigel Scrutton`s group.
