I studied Physics at the Georg August University of Goettingen, Germany, home of quite a few important physicists in the past (Max Born and James Franck, to name just two). I wrote my diploma and PhD thesis on doubly polarized pion photon production in the group of (now retired) Prof. Dr. M. Schumacher at the II. Physikalisches Institut.

Research Interests My main research interests focus on revealing the spin structure of the nucleon and describing the nucleons internal structure in terms of a new class of functions called Generalized Parton Distributions. These new functions aim at providing a complete description of the nucleon. They are accessible in a variety of experiments, both in the space-like and time-like domain. This is where my experimental activities focus - the HERMES Experiment at DESY in Hamburg, Germany and the PANDA Experiment at GSI close to Darmstadt, Germany. While HERMES is successfully taking data using a recently completed recoil detector, PANDA is an experiment under construction. The work of our group concentrates on Particle Identification Detectors. We are especially interested in building a new type of detector based on the production of Cherenkov light within a thin, transparent plate of material and in a more conventional design, a RICH detector.You can learn more about these project either on other pages of this site, by following the link to my personal homepage or by just contacting me. | |
