Maxi enjoyed an education in physics at the University of Zurich where he received his bachelor's degree and wrote his thesis on the topic of Lepton Flavour Universlity in B⁰ -> K⁺pi⁻(J/psi -> l⁺l⁻) decays in the group of Prof. Nicola Serra. He continues his studies as a master student in particle physics and is currently working on his master's thesis for which he is hoping to construct a small-scale two-phase xenon TPC to test novel Hamamatsu flat panel type PMTs.

Concerning hobbies, he enjoys music, listening of course as well as making it to his best abilities, taking a refreshing swim, preferably in rivers or the sea, and sports involving tables like table tennis or table football.
