Main Research Fields

The main topic of my research is the physics of small bodies in the solar system. Currently analysis of data from  Rosetta at comet C/G and modelling of cometary gas emissions are a main focus. Another topic is planetary defence and impact physics, with a view on the upcoming Hera mission to Asteroid Didymos. Other projects include the analyxis  of Herschel and ground-based observations of asteroids (incl. dwarf planet Ceres) and comets.
