I would also like to thank my family. Nik, Rufus, Sophie, and Anni, have provided me with a constant environment of love and support, stayed up the long nights with me, and, kept me in coffee and chocolate. Thank you for doing this with me. This would not have been possible without you. To my parents, my brothers, and Hartmut and Heidi, thank you for your constant support, in its various forms, and interest in my work. I love you all.
