To my life-coach, my mother: because I owe it all to you. Many Thanks!

I would like to express my special appreciation and thanks to my advisor Prof. Dr. Monika Fludernik. It has been an honour to be her Ph.D. student. I appreciate all her contributions of time, ideas, and funding to make my Ph.D. experience productive and stimulating. I would also like to express my warmest gratitude to my second reader Prof. Dr. Jan Alber. His support and motivation have been essential to this work.

This thesis would not have come to a successful completion without the help I received from my teacher and friend Kian Soheil, who despite his busy schedule always had time to read and proofread my work, providing me with invaluable feedback, moral support and advice. I will forever be thankful.

I especially thank Eva von Contzen, Kerstin Fest, Benjamin Kohlmann and Miriam Nandi to whom I have always looked up to and who have always shared their experience and expertise with me, and did not let me quit when it all felt hopeless.

I am also very much indebted to all my friends who have supported me intellectually and morally, laughed and cried with me, and were always ready to lift my spirits with coffee and chocolate.

Thanks for all your encouragement!
