First I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Georg Pohnert, for providing me with the opportunity to join his lab and work in the field of algal chemical ecology which might not seem exciting to some, but was my dream. His advice and support has helped me grow into the scientist that I am today. I would also like to thank Dr. Valerie Paul for sharing her knowledge of algal chemical ecology and helping me implement my field experiments in Florida. In addition, my second professor, Dr. Christian Hertweck provided new insights and numerous helpful suggestions throughout my PhD.
