About Me
I am an astronomer, affiliated with the Physics Department of the Technische Universität München and the European Southern Observatory.
My research is centered on the study of Active Galactic Nuclei, which include quasars, using data across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, and neutrino Astronomy. I have also worked, amongst other things, on very deep radio surveys.
I have also worked on the Extremely Large Telescope, a revolutionary new ground-based telescope concept, which will have a 40-metre-class main mirror and will be the largest optical/near-infrared telescope in the world.

On July 5, 2019 I have received the Sparlamento Prize 2019 awarded in the Italian House of Parliament in Rome "for having contributed with my work to valorise the Italian excellence in Astronomy".
