For my Master's internship, I had the opportunity to partake in a joint project between KWS 75% and Dotenfelderhof 25%. Some of my achievements include: (KWS) Successfully identified a gene for probable loose smut resistance in barley and located a second locus that could potentially contain another. Provision of marker cluster files in wheat. Literature review to find markers for diverse traits in wheat and barley. Furthermore, I Investigated an internal chip concerning the characterization of elite and exotic materials and compared different marker groups. While in the practical experience at Dotenfelderhof identified and helped implement a breeding approach for oats that yielded a success rate of 25% seed, setting the highest success rate of the last ten years.
Student assistant in the organic farming department at Justus Liebig University. Among the responsibilities were literature review and bibliography research, writing reports for the fund donors and administrative tasks. Furthermore, I Served as one of the references for scanning computers and removing viruses after the informatic attack at Justus Liebig University.
Facilitated coordination of organs of the company on ground level whilst greeting customers in a friendly and professional manner to ensure delivery of exceptional client service. Successfully managed enterprise software with listed experiences and details organised by the company, such as customer data, details of guiding language, bus with relevant information, bus number, stops, and driver. Organised guide with additional tools required for experience from communication services to logistics. While acting as the vital point of contact for co-workers and management. Upheld responsibilities whilst serving as the point of reference for all issues arising through multiple departments and communicating to find appropriate solutions.
From 2011 to 2015, I worked on several enterprises that deal in such sectors. Two are expetially crucial for my growth as an individual:
1) Osteria La Vecchia Fornace, a family-owned business where I moved my first steps towards the service industry. To this experience, I own the introduction to the vast world of wines.
2)The Experience at Castel Monastero provided a perspective into the intriguing world of fine dining and the rich experiences it can provide.
Master of Science thesis: "Long read sequencing reveals widespread structural variants in ecotype-related Brassica napus genes".
Through a pragmatic approach which took advantage of the division of the species in ecotypes and treated those ecotype groups as pseudo-bulk segregants, I highlighted ecotype-specific structural variants that may play a role in ecotype adaptation.
Bachelor Thesis: "Agar extraction from Gracilaria Gracilis".
Gracilaria Gracilis is a red alga that, together with other species, created a critical ecological situation in the Orbetello lagoon in Tuscany, Italy. There were several efforts to bring the lagoon into an ecologically stable condition. Among those efforts was that of including such infesting algae into productive processes. I managed to set up a lab-scale pipeline for the extraction of valuable substances, starting with R-phycoerythrin. What remained of this first step was then used to extract agarose, and the remains of such phase were used for ethanol fermentation as biofuel.
Theoretical thesis: 'The Human Body, A perfectly tuned machine.
My diploma as a lab technician required a theoretical thesis. I chose the topic as a combination of my passion for track and field and biochemistry. The work considered the different kinetic adaptations in the metabolic pathways during the run of 400 meters from the first meters that exhaust creatinine to the anaerobic process and the resulting lactic fermentation of the last meters.
