Hello! I am an astrophysicist with a focus on the formation, evolution, and dynamical state of galaxy clusters, and the properties of the galaxies in such environments. I am interested in understanding structure formation in a cosmological context: from the build-up of anisotropic structures around galaxies and in galaxy clusters to the impact of cosmic accretion on the resulting orbits, reaching from galaxies in clusters down to stellar orbits in galaxies, and the question of whether cosmic expansion actually leaves an imprint on orbits within structures of all scales.
