Education
Welcome to the education section of my portfolio. Here, I list my formal education, including my academic degrees and coursework from school and university.
PhD Bioinformatics
Paris Lodron University of Salzburg, Austria
February 2024 - today
Overview
In my PhD, I am responsible for data analysis and modeling within our research
consortium, where we study the glycosylation of the NISTmAb antibody produced in
NISTCHO cells. Additionally, I pursue an own project, where I work in
interpretable deep learning. I work in the
research group of Prof. Nikolaus Fortelny
Master Biotechnology
University of Graz and TU Graz, Austria
Oktober 2021 - August 2024
| Notice of Degree Completion |
| Degree Award Certificate |
| Transcript of Records |
Overview
During my Master’s in Biotechnology, I specialized in molecular biotechnology,
bioinformatics, and bioprocess technology. I gained expertise in cell, protein,
and metabolic engineering, as well as computational analysis of DNA and protein
sequences. The curriculum also covered environmental and food biotechnology,
focusing on microbial and enzymatic processes in food production. Additionally,
I conducted hands-on laboratory research under the guidance of experienced
scientists, further developing my experimental and analytical skills.
For my Master’s thesis in Bioinformatics, I benchmarked software tools for DNA analysis, evaluating their performance and accuracy in finding so called structural variants in long DNA reads.
Bachelor Molecular Biology
University of Graz and TU Graz, Austria

Overview
During my Bachelor’s in Molecular Biology, I gained a foundation in mathematics,
physics, chemistry, and informatics, along with hands-on laboratory experience.
The curriculum covered key areas such as microbiology, cell biology, molecular
biology, and genetics, with a focus on biotechnology, bioinformatics, and
genetic engineering. Additionally, I developed practical skills in microscopy,
immunological techniques, and biochemical analysis while also exploring the
ethical and societal aspects of genetic technologies.
Natural Science Highschool Albert Einstein
Meran, Italy
September 2012 - June 2017
Overview
I attended a natural science high school, where the curriculum focused on
mathematics, physics, informatics, and natural sciences. In addition to these
core subjects, I gained a foundation in law and business, as well as
multilingual proficiency through courses in German, English, and Italian. This
diverse education provided me with strong analytical skills and a broad academic
background.
