Since September 2014 I am working in the relativistc astrophysics/numerical relativity group of Prof. Luciano Rezzolla at the department of Theoretical Physics at the J.W. Goethe-University in Frankfurt am Main.

Research interests

My main topic of research are compact stars (neutron stars, hybrid stars and quark stars) and numerical methods for hydrodynamics in general relativity. I am also interested in gauge theory, evolutionary game theory, socio-economical systems, complex networks, agent-based computations, and structure and dynamics of nanoparticles and biomolecules.

Biographical remarks

I have studied theoretical physics and astrophysics at the University Frankfurt and Konstanz. In 1998, I finished my Diploma thesis in Konstanz at the Fieldtheory and Gravitation-Group of Prof. Heinz Dehnen. The topic of the thesis was about a gauge theoretical formulation of general relativity by means of a novel Higgs-field Ansatz using space-time dependent Dirac matrices. Then I started to work at the department of Theoretical Physics at the J.W. Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, and began my PhD in theoretical physics with Prof. Walter Greiner and Prof. Horst Stöcker as thesis-advisors. In 2004, I finished my PhD on Properties of Compact Stars within QCD-motivated Models. From 2005 to 2011, I worked at the Institute of Information Systems in the economics faculty of the Goethe University. In 2011, I finished my second PhD on a subject related to evolutionary game theory and complex networks of socio-economic systems. In 2012, after a lectureship at the International School of Management I was employed as a postdoc at the Meso-Bio-Nano Science-Group at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) in Frankfurt am Main. At the FIAS, I worked on the parallelization of multi-purpose computer code for studying the structure and dynamics of nanoparticles and biomolecules. Now, I am working again at the department of Theoretical Physics in the Relativistic Astrophysic-Group of Prof. Luciano Rezzolla.
