I am an astrophysicist and head an independent research group at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg.
My research interests are radiative processes in astrophysics, spectroscopy and stellar physics, chemical evolution of the Milky Way and star-forming galaxies, and cosmic nucleosynthesis.
The research activies of my group are described on this website. We are supported by the grants from the Max Planck Society, European Research Council, and the German Research Foundation.
