Personal

Currently I am working as a professor substitute ("Vertretungsprofessor") at Hamburg University. Besides from teaching I am conducting basic research in the field of elementary particle physics.

Find out more about my work life by looking at my CV, browse through my publications or look at the talks I have presented at various occasions.

Teaching

I like teaching since it is interesting to get in contact with young students and teach them the beauty of physics. During the summer term, I am giving a lecture Physics 1 which introduces on a basic level experimentally the physics of solid bodies, and waves, dynamics of gases and fluids, and thermodynamics.

Projects

Im actively involved in research. During the last years, I mainly worked for the CMS tracker end-cap collaboration and was responsible for wire bonding, software representation and geometry of the tracker, reconstruction of muon tracks from air showers, and alignment of the tracker end cap. I focused on the alignment of the CMS silicon pixel and strip tracker. For two years I led the alignment group and aligned the tracker with muons from air showers. As a result of this work, I am hosting a Kalman Alignment project at HepForge. A new project I just have restarted is physics analysis. I am getting involved in the analysis of CMS data, searching for supersymmetric particles. My experience at the L3 experiment will help me to quickly get involved.
