Luis received his Bachelor’s (2012) and his Master’s (2014) degree in Chemical Biology from the TU Dortmund University, Germany. In 2019, he completed his doctoral studies with the highest distinction (summa cum laude<\/em>) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Andrey P. Antonchick at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology (Dortmund, Germany) where he was working on different approaches for the functionalization of unreactive C\u2013H bonds under metal-free reaction conditions. Luis joined the Micklefield group in 2019 as a postdoctoral research fellow, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). His research interest covers different approaches for combining chemo- and biocatalysis enabling improved and more sustainable telescoping routes to pharmaceuticals and other important molecules.<\/p>\n

Outside the lab, Luis likes hiking, board games and a cold beer.<\/p>\n
