Johannes Kaub studied chemistry at RWTH Aachen, with a focus on solid-state physical chemistry, before serving as a scientific employee at the Max Planck Instiute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter. He supports the Thorn Lab as a scientific coordinator with his organizing ability and his talent for solving problems. Other than science, his greatest passion is the written word, and due to this he is also a member of the editorial board on the most well-known German table top RPG.
