As a master's student in the Wolf group at the University of Regensburg, Maxi's research was dedicated to our ongoing collaborative investigation of white phosphorus hydroelementation, as a method for the direct generation of useful P-containing products. During this time Maxi worked on the first examples of catalytic reactivity developed using this strategy, among several other areas.
After completing this work in 2020, Maxi moved on to a PhD position in the group of Julia Rehbein.
