Research Overview

My main research interest are the formation of dark matter structures in Cosmology, the nature of dark matter and its detection. I am also working on the distribution of the first black holes and the kinematics of stellar halos and globular cluster systems. For more details see the papers on astro/ph, SPIRES HEP or NASA ADS or visit the links below:

the via lactea project

high resolution simulations of Milky Way dark matter halos a small part of the Via Lactea halo

The first structures in the early universe

See the news articles on nature.com, newscientist.com and astronomy.com.
Additional pictures of these first structures are available here.
