About me

I am a PhD student in the Extraterrestrial Physics Group at Kiel University. I am part of the scientific team of the RAD instrument on the Curiosity rover on Mars, and work on tracking solar storms at Mars using its data. I am also working on data analysis and software development for the Chang’E 4/LND and Solar Orbiter/EPD instruments developed in our group.

Besides, I work at rami.io to build cool apps for Android, iOS and the web.
