Alumni of the Breugst Group
We are very grateful to our former colleagues and students and thank them for their hard work in the Breugst group.
Graduate Students
Dr. Jonas König (PhD in 2020)
Jonas studied chemistry at the RWTH Aachen, Germany. After an internship with Sanofi Deutschland in Frankfurt a. M., he received his Master’s degree in Aachen in 2016 working on insertion reaction of diazomethane compounds. In 2016 he joined Martin Breugst’s research group as a graduate student and successfully completed his PhD in 2020. During his time in the group, Jonas contributed to 5 publications.

Dr. Julie Pieper gen. Schmauck (PhD in 2019)
Julie studied chemistry at the University of Cologne, Germany. During her master’s programme she spent three months in Graz, Austria, working on biocatalysis. She conducted her Master thesis with Patricia Hunt at the Imperial College London, UK working on ion solubility in ionic liquids using computational methods and received her Master’s degree in Cologne in 2015. In 2015 she joined the Breugst research group as a graduate student and was the recipient of the 2016 Hoechst Doktorandenstipendium. She successfully completed her PhD in the Breugst group in April 2019. During her time in the group, Julie contributed to 5 publications.

Dr. Daniel von der Heiden (PhD in 2018)
Daniel studied chemistry at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster, Germany. After an internship with Boehringer Ingelheim in Vienna, Austria, he received his Master’s degree in Münster in 2014 working on the selective metalation of chlorazoles and imidazolium salts. In 2015 he joined the Breugst research group as a graduate student and obtained his PhD in April 2018. During his time in the group, Daniel contributed to 5 publications, and additionally received the Kurt-Alder award for his outstanding PhD thesis in 2018.

Visiting Scientists and Research Assistants
Eric Detmar (BSc in 2015, MSc in 2019)
Eric joined the Breugst group in January 2015 for his Bachelor thesis. After graduation, he stayed in the group working as a student research assistant. During that time, Eric not only worked on different computational projects but also developed a variety of python scripts that facilitate the evaluation of our computational studies. In March 2019, Eric successfully completed his Master studies. During his time in the group, Eric contributed to 5 publications.

Mikk Kaasik (visiting scientist in 2018/9)
Mikk studied chemistry at Tallinn University of Technology. During his Master studies he spent a semester at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. In 2015 he received a Master’s degree from Tallinn University of Technology investigating the conjugate addition of a cyclopropyl acetaldehyde derivative. In 2015, he started his doctoral studies under the supervision of Prof. Tõnis Kanger on the topic of novel asymmetric catalytic reactions. From October 2018 to June 2019 Mikk joined the Breugst research group for a research stay.
