Cosmologist, Astrophysicist, Scientist, and Curious Person
I am interested in Information Theory, especially Information Field Theory (IFT), Artificial and Other Intelligence, Cosmology, and High Energy Astrophysics.
For the Planck-project, he supervises the development of software infrastructure, namely the Planck-simulation package, a scientific workflow engine (the ProC), and a data management component interfaced to it. Furthermore, he is member of the German Long Wavelength (GLOW) Consortium, and participates in the Magnetism Key Science Project of LOFAR. His current scientific work embraces investigations of energetic particles and magnetic fields in the large scale structure, theoretical cosmology, and information field theory. The latter is the application of information theory to problems of image reconstruction. It was successfully applied to cosmography, the mapping of the large scale structure as traced by galaxies, to analysis of the cosmic microwave background, and to radio astronomy.
