Research

Members of the group are working at ECAP and at DESY in Zeuthen.

The work of the group is best described by current topics that group members are working on. Please also check out the overview here: neutrino-astronomy/radio-detection/

Work by Group Members

  • Dr. Maddalena Cataldo (@ ECAP)
    Post-Doc working on hardware for RNO-G and astrophysics accessible with RNO-G and IceCube-Gen2, as well as the tribo-electric effect.
  • Dr. Steffen Hallmann (@ DESY)
    Post-Doc working on simulations for RNO-G and IceCube-Gen2. A particular focus is the flavor sensitivity of radio detectors.
