Curriculum vitae
In October 1996 after obtaining the Abitur at the Gymnasium ’In- stitut der Englischen Fr¨aulein’ in Bamberg, I started my studies in Biology at the University of Konstanz. This included an internship at the Landesbund f¨ur Vogelschutz/Bayern, in Hipoltstein and a par- cipitation in the Socrates intensive Programme on ’Cellular Energy Channels’ at the Universit´e Joseph Fourier, Grenoble. In 1998, after receiving the Vordiplom in Biology, I choose the graduate courses evo- lutionary biology, biochemistry of the cell, membrane biophysics and X-ray analysis of proteins and performed an internship in Biomolec- ular NMR spectroscopy at the Institute for Molecular Biotechnology in Jena. In September 1999, a scholarship provided me with the op- portunity to study for a year at the Oregon State University ’Depart- ment of Biochemistry and Biophysics’. In December 2001, I started under the guidance of Prof. Dr. H.-J. Apell my Diplomthesis titled
’Electronic partial reactions of the H+-K+-ATPase’ in the work group of Membrane Biophysics and graduated in December 2002 from the University of Konstanz with a degree in Biology.
In January 2003, I started my Ph.D. in the Solid State NMR group at the Leiden University led by Prof. Dr. H. J. M. de Groot, under the supervision of Dr. J. Matysik. The results of my Ph.D. work were presented in national and international conferences in the form of posters. These included the 3rd Alpine Conference on Solid-State NMR (2006) in Chamonix, the 13th International Congress of Pho- tosynthesis (2004) in Montr´eal, the Spin Chemistry Meeting (2005) in Oxford, and the GDCh 28th Annual Discussion Meeting (2006) in T¨ubingen, where my poster won the 1st prize. At the 1st Interna- tional Workshop on Expression, Structure and Function of Membrane Proteins (2006) in Firenze, the meeting of the NMR discussion group (2006) in Oss, the annual meeting of the Study group Theory and Spectroscopy of the Chemical society section of the NWO (2007) in Lunteren and the XXIII International Conference on Photochemistry (2007) in K¨oln, I got the opportunity to present my work in the form of oral presentations. From October 2007, I will start my postdoctoral research in the group of Dr. E. Dufourc at the Institut Europ´een de Chimie et Biologie, CNRS-Universit´e Bordeaux.
Nawoord
During my Ph.D. studies I enjoyed to work with various kind of scien- tists. The sample preparation in the Biophysics Department profited a lot from the knowledge and atmosphere provided by Dr´e, Lu-Ning, Mohamed, Onno, Tatiana, Wouter, Yan and the guest researchers Anatolie Shkuropatov, Dr. Habilitat Ivan Proskuryakov, Prof. dr.
Charlie Yocum and Prof. dr. Prasanna Mohanty. I am grateful for the collaboration with Prof. dr. Clemens Glaubitz on the MAOSS/SLF project and the support of his group, especially Christoph Kaiser and Jakob Lopez who provided a lot of computer software and discussion.
The discussions with Prof. dr. Gunnar Jeschke about the photo- CIDNP mechanism were extremely fruitful.
About NMR, I learned much from Kees Erkelens and Fons Lefeber and it was a pleasure to perform the SLF experiments with the help of Johan Hollander! The atmosphere in the ssNMR/BOF group, pro- vided by Alexey, Alia, Adriaan, Anjali, Arjan’s, Eugenio, Francesco, Frans, Geerten, Ineke, Jan, Karthick, Louise, Prasad, Prativa, Richard, Rob’s, Samira, Suzanne and Thierry was very enjoyable. The smile and professional administrative support from Liesbeth will stay as a very pleasant memory! Piotr and Sylvia, the discussions about the meaning of life and science in particular are unforgettable. Arjan Siebum, Reinier, Niels and Rob van der Steen, it was very pleasur- able to have met such good-humored colleagues and good sports! The warm spirit of Ania and her family and the inspiring kitchen science of Prashant made the Ph.D. life very joyful. Shipra and Ido, I won’t forget your warmhearted way to share your knowledge and passion for science. The ’Popeye-power’ of Esha during the spinach harvest and her support during various stages of the Ph.D. life, contributed a lot to this work! Swapna, you are a colleague full of ideas and a great friend, thanks for sharing your scientific and adventurous spirit!
Louis, thanks for translating my thesis summary! Verena, seit den Li- teraturstudien in der Bib, ist die Biophysik in den Diskussionen nicht mehr wegzudenken, Danke auch f¨ur die anderen coolen Erlebnisse!
Meine Eltern und Geschwister Pius, Teresa und Agnes mit Gunnar und Benno, waren die Garantie f¨ur viel Spass und Freude durch die die Arbeitswelt um so vieles sch¨oner wurde! Hans, Du bist der cool- ste Wissenschaftler den ich kenn, the greatest peaks I ever saw were thanks to you, YOKUN HO!
