Research Activities
I am currently a member of the ANTARES and KM3NeT collaborations. My prime research topic is the acoustic detection of neutrinos. You can find more informationen by choosing “Projects” from the menu on the left and then “Acoustic detection” or click here.
Priviously, I worked in high energy physics on the OPAL experiment at CERN and the H1 experiment at DESY.
