Vincent was born in Dannenberg (Germany) and studied chemistry at the University of Basel. After research projects in the groups of Prof. A. Pfaltz at the University of Basel and Prof. E. Uggerud at the University of Oslo, he joined the Sparr group to carry out his Master thesis. In 2015, he started his PhD studies in synthetic organic chemistry and developed a stereoselective arene-forming aldol condensation for the preparation of configurationally stable aromatic amides. Currently, he implements the catalyst-controlled de novo construction of aromatic systems for an increasing degree of structural complexity. In his free time, Vincent enjoys running and cooking.

Vincent is currently working as a Postdoc with Prof. E. N. Jacobsen at Harvard University.
