I am a scientist working at the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Garching (near Munich). My research focuses on the investigation of the young universe: cosmic chemical evolution, distant galaxies, intergalactic and interstellar medium. Recently, I specialized in the exploration of the galaxies that host the most energetic events in the universe: the gamma-ray bursts.
