About Publications Teaching

About

Neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs:
compact objects are fascinating astronomical objects
and laboratories for extreme physics.
My research field is high-energy astrophysics
with a main focus on compact objects in binary systems,
neutron stars and accretion flows.
