Since the completion of my PhD thesis in 2007, I attracted research grants, awards and fellowships at an economic value of 1.98 M € (~ 1.78 M £). This funding enabled me to establish an independent and externally funded research group, consisting currently of one post‐doctoral research fellow and four PhD students.
