I am an astrophysicist working on modelling the cold interstellar medium (ISM) at Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik; MPIK). I am interested in the effects of interstellar radiation field and cosmic rays on the cold ISM, and the heating processes occurring in the cold ISM.
I work with Dr. Richard Tuffs in the Infrared Astrophysics group in the Non-thermal Astrophysics division at MPIK.
