EDUCATION

1994-1999: Study chemistry at the university of Berne with specialisation in inorganic chemistry.

The end of this study was a diploma work with the topic: Stimulated raman scattering in molecular crystals

1999-2003: PhD work at the University of Berne.

The topic of the thesis was the synthesis and characterisation of Prussian-Blue analogues.
