Before embarking on my scientific journey I learned the art of programming as a software developer at Bertelsmann and arvato Systems in Gütersloh, Germany. I then earned Diploma and PhD degrees working with Horst Malchow in the Systems Science Group at the University of Osnabrück, before joining Ivana Gudelj's Evolutionary Systems Biology group at the University of Exeter. I then spent two years as a lecturer with the Ecology and Ecosystem Modelling Group of Ursula Gaedke at the University of Potsdam, before arriving in the lakeside town of Plön.
