Christian Kutzner has served the Berlin Institute as a scientific consultant and office manager since 2004 and 2006 respectively.

He has several degrees to his name, including a Master of Philosophy from the University of Glasgow (1994) and a Magister Artium from the Albert Ludwigs University in Freiburg (1995).
