Robert graduated in February 2011 from Humboldt-University, Berlin with a Diploma in Chemistry, before going on to complete his PhD research under the supervision of Prof. Oliver Seitz, specialising in the chemical synthesis of Protein-Domain-Arrays. Robert also carried out research in the area of Enantioselective Cobalt and Ruthenium Catalyzed Cyclizations under the supervision of Prof. K. Peter C. Vollhardt at the University of California, Berkeley.

Together with three other chemists and one economist he started the spin-off EnviroPep at Humboldt-University, Berlin in 2016, and for the next twenty months he worked to develop the Peptide Easy Clean (PEC) technology to marketable products. In 2018 Robert co-founded Belyntic GmbH and is now head of R&D and co-CEO developing linker systems for the PEC technology to purify and modify synthetic peptides.
