Stefanie studied Chemistry at the University of Heidelberg in Germany, graduating with an MSc in 2016. For her Masters thesis she investigated the dehydrocoupling of phosphines mediated by guanidino-functionalised aromatic compounds. During her degree Stefanie took part in the Erasmus programme, spending six months studying at the University of York. In her free time, she enjoys reading, photography and watching ski jumping competitions.
