Welcome

I am working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University Observatory and the Max-Planck-Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics within Andi Burkert's CAST group. My current research interests concentrate around the distribution and the dynamics of gas, dust and stars in nearby galactic nuclei, the physics of the Galactic Centre of the Milky Way as well as structure Formation in high redshift galaxies. To study this, we use hydrodynamic simulations with the help of the PLUTO-code as well as the RAMSES-code. Subsequent radiative transfer modelling with RADMC-3D enables us to derive observable quantities like spectral energy distributions and surface brightness distributions and visibility information, which we compared to observations with the largest telescopes (VLTI and ALMA), including the use of interferometric instruments like MIDI, MATISSE and GRAVITY.
