I'm a postdoc at the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie (Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomy). I have received my PhD from the University of Bonn, having conducted my research at the "Fundamental Physics in Radio Astronomy" group of the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie, under the supervision of Prof. Michael Kramer and Dr. David Champion. During my studies I was a member of the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Astronomy and Astrophysics and the Bonn-Cologne Graduate School (BCGS) of Physics and Astronomy.
