Research

My research focuses on the area of neutrino astronomy, trying to understand the sources of Cosmic Rays and the highest-energetic processes in the universe. This is performed as member of the KM3NeT and ANTARES collaborations; both neutrino detectors in the Mediterranean deep sea.

Within the KM3NeT collaboration, I was coordinating the computing and software working group and – in  this function – member of the project’s steering committee from 2013 to 2023. During his term as chair of the KM3NeT Institute board, I substitute Uli Katz representing ECAP in the board (2020-2024). In addition, I am general manager of ECAP and the technical manager of the Physics Institute at the Friedrich-Alexander University.

My second main interest is in open science and more specifically in open research software, where I am part of several projects (e.g. ESCAPE and EVERSE) and work in several initiatives (e.g. EOSC Groups and SciCodes).
