Hannes works on the production of high intensity sweeteners through the genetic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Hannes completed his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biochemistry at the Technical University Munich (TUM) with a focus on protein engineering and synthetic biology. Through his Master's thesis, conducted at The University of Queensland, Hannes was able to apply his skills in the engineering of an enzyme for the biotechnological production of isobutanol as a sustainable aviation fuel.
