About me
I have a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Science degree in Astronomy from the University of Vienna. I obtained my PhD in Physics at Technische Universität Berlin with the thesis “Numerical Investigations on the Link between the 60Fe Anomaly in a Deep-Sea Ferromanganese Crust and the Formation of the Local Bubble”. Currently, I am holding a position as a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at Technische Universität Berlin. My research fields are the interstellar and intergalactic medium, high-energy astrophysics, and magnetohydrodynamics.

Astrophysical fluid mechanics
As almost all of the baryonic Universe is fluid, the study of how fluids flow and under which circumstances they achieve equilibrium (i.e., do not flow) is central to modern astrophysics. In order to shed light on this fascinating and ever-evolving research area, we will derive the governing equations of fluid mechanics in their most general form in a mathematically attractive manner and show how these relations can be tailored to tackle with them specific (astrophysical) problems, including convection flows, accretion disks, extragalactic jets, stellar winds, and supernova blast waves.

Physics of the interstellar and intergalactic medium
The study of the interstellar and intergalactic medium incorporates a large range of physical processes on both large and small scales. At the microscopic level, the structure and energy balance of the media can only be understood in relation to atomic and molecular interactions; specifically, two-body chemical reactions and gas-solid interactions. The interaction of electromagnetic waves with atoms, molecules, and solids is also clearly of fundamental importance, since this is how we obtain our information about these environments. On a macroscopic level, gas dynamics is required in order to describe the motions of interstellar and intergalactic gases, the existence of shock fronts, and the consequences of stellar winds and explosions. The aim of this lecture is to provide a comprehensive overview and grounding in the study of the interstellar and intergalactic medium.

Numerical methods in astrophysics
This course, which is part of the MSc-level module in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the TU and FU Berlin, covers various topics regarding scientific computing. It consists of several lectures on Fortran programming and numerical methods, as well as programming exercises for the students. Towards the end of the course, the exercises are based on astrophysical problems, such as the gravitational N-body problem and the evolution of supernova remnants.

Astrophysical seminar
In this course, students are expected to give a roughly 45-minute talk on selected topics, among others, from the field of the "Cosmic Matter Cycle". For this purpose, they are supervised by university teachers and assistants. Each talk is to be followed by a scientific discussion. All topics are suitable as a starting point for a Bachelor's or Master's thesis.
