Since October 2007 I am full professor at the II.Institute
for theoretical physics at the University of Hamburg (physically
on the DESY campus). For information on the group being constructed
there see the group page in Hamburg and a short overview group page.
For open positions in Hamburg please check
here.
Since October 2005 I was directeur de recherche of CNRS. Since
January 2007 I was physically at Astroparticules et Cosmologie
(APC), Universite Paris 7.
Since October 1st 1999 I am a
charge de recherche (permanent researcher) of the
French Centre
National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) first at the
Departement
d'Astrophysique Relativiste et de Cosmologie (DARC) of
the Observatoire de Paris-Meudon
and, since July 1st 2000, at the
Institute d'Astrophysique de Paris (IAP). I am working on
various problems of cosmology/astro-particle
physics together with local and external collaborators.
From 1996-1999 I was a Research Scientist at the
Physics
Department and the
Center for
Astronomy and Astrophysics
of the University of
Chicago, where I was also a Research Associate from
1993-1996 with a
Feodor-Lynen Research Fellowship awarded by the
Alexander-von-Humboldt-Stiftung
(see also the
Alexander von Humboldt Association of America).
I received my Ph.D. in 1993 from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität,
München, where I studied at the Fakultät für
Physik. From 1990-1993 I worked as a doctoral
student at the
Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Werner-Heisenberg-Institut
together with Georg Raffelt and Leo Stodolsky, mostly at the
intersection of particle physics with astrophysics and cosmology.
I am coordinating the European Network of Theoretical Astroparticle Physics (ENTApP), also known as ILIAS/N6 within the European Integrated Large Infrastructures for Astroparticle Science (ILIAS).
I am member of the peer review and European roadmap committees of the Astroparticle Physics European Coordination (ApPEC). The lastest version of this roadmap can be downloaded here.
