Function
Currently I am a senior researcher working on the physics of solar flares at the FHNW Institute of 4D-Technologies. As a member of the STIX team, I am managing STIX' flight software. My research interests are solar magnetic fields, flares, the dynamics of the chromosphere, and solar instrumentation.
