Max started his B. Sc. in Biology in Gießen in 2017, after which he quickly switched to University Leipzig to finish the degree. In his bachelor thesis, he investigated auditory elevation encoding with EEG. Thereafter, he did his M. Sc. in Biology at University Leipzig. During his master thesis, he focused on numerosity judgment in auditory scene analysis, incorporating convolutional neural networks which mimic human auditory behavior. Additionally, he was a student assistant under supervision of Christian Doeller and later Gesa Hartwigsen at the Max-Planck institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig.

Max recently started his PhD - supervised by Malte Wöstmann - eager to solve questions about attentional capture and distraction suppression in auditory attention research. In particular, he is interested in how distraction is influenced by bottom-up and top-down processes, how these processes are displayed in neuro-electrophysiological correlates, and in what sense they are affected in aging individuals.
