Supplementary Career Information
In October of 2019 I acquired the rank of Associate Professor with Tenure at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. From 16 July 2022 until 15 July 2023 I was on no-pay leave from NTU, as I joined my wife, who is a German immunologist based in Hamburg, to help take care of our twin children, born 2 August 2022. On 15 July 2023, I gave up my tenured professorship to remain in Germany with my family. I have been able to continue my research career here through the generous support of the Rachel Carson Center, the German Maritime Museum (DSM), and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
