Lukas Kruckenfellner studied biosciences at the Goethe-University Frankfurt/Main. His Bachelorthesis focused on the mixture toxicity of an antiepileptic drug and a second chemical stressor on the non-biting midge Chironomus riparus. During his master studies in environmental sciences he specialised in ecotoxicology and aquatic ecology. He performed his Master thesis at the Institut für Gewässerschutz, Mesocosm GmbH, Neu-Ulrichstein, Homberg (Ohm), where he established the New-Zealand mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum in outdoor stream mesocosm systems.
Since March 2020 he is part of the MikroPlaTaS project and investigates the effects of microplastic particles on organisms in static mesocosm systems at Mesocosm GmbH.
