Currently I am working as a researcher at University of Bremen (Center for applied space technology and microgravity, ZARM). Before that I worked as a researcher at the Max-Planck-Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert-Einstein-Institute). Before that I worked as an assistant professor at the Tohoku University (Astronomical Institute). Before that I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max-Planck-Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert-Einstein-Institute). Before that I worked as a postdoc for the Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics at the University of Oslo . Before that I worked as postdoc for the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the Iowa State University . Formerly I was a member of the Cologne gravity group at the Institute for Theoretical Physics - University of Cologne.
