I am the leader of a small group at the neutron source FRM-II with a quite broad range of interest encompassing various both experimental and theoretical aspects of condensed matter on the atomic scale, see my research interests. I am also associated to the chair E 13 at the Physics Department of the Technical University Munich, working under Prof. Winfried Petry. Previously, I graduated and did my doctoral studies at the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna in the group Dynamics of Condensed Systems (chair of Gero Vogl), followed by a brief stay as post-doc there.
