What's new? (older news)
I am a professor for theoretical particle physics at RWTH Aachen University.

My main research field is to understand and predict phenomena at particle colliders. Within the last few years, I have been mostly interested in the physics of Higgs bosons in and beyond the Standard Model. Recently, I have also become interested in improving the connection between the perturbative and the lattice approach to quantum field theory through the gradient-flow formalism.

The menu on the left should help you navigate through this page. In particular, you can find a Brief CV, and details about my Research and Teaching activities.

It is important to try to convey some of our excitement about physics to the general public, high-school students, or politicians. As you can see in the Outreach section of this page, I have been quite active in this field. If you are interested in organizing an outreach activity (public lecture, information for high-school students etc.), feel free to .

Most of the time, you will know where I am by clicking the Conferences item.

The Software item leads you to some programs and scripts that I make available to the public. Some of them are highly specialized to particle physicists, others are more general. I appreciate your feedback.

I am also involved in a number of collaborative research projects: the interdisciplinary DFG Research Unit on The Epistemology of the LHC, the DFG Transregio P3H on LHC phenomenology, and a DFG Research Training Group studying the heaviest particles at the LHC.

Concerning science administration, I am currently a Review Board member of the DFG.
