Oliver Fincke

I’m in my detailed laboratory research of my master thesis at the moment, which I’ll finish in October. With this I’ll also finish my master’s degree in chemistry, where I was able to gain a broad spectrum of experience in various topics, including e.g. organometallic-, biopolymer- or analytical chemistry. I also gained theoretical and practical experience in catalysis as well as in vacuum- and cryogenic techniques.

Within my one year as a working student in the Software R&D at Bruker Daltonics GmbH & Co. KG, I gathered a lot of experience in handling modern mass spectrometers, prototypes and older MS devices. I am now looking forward to learn more in practice-oriented topics such as Life Science.

I like to solve problems and want to work together with a harmonious team, to overcome existing issues together and to grow from them within the group. Therefore I’m looking for new challenges, where I can broaden my knowledge and my interests.
