Welcome, netizens, to my little corner of cyberspace! I am a staff
astronomer here at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy. My primary
interests are in galaxy formation, cosmology, and the high-redshift
universe. Most of my work nowadays is done in the near infrared, such as the
2.2 micron image of NGC 5713 above, obtained with the 2.2m telescope at
the Calar Alto observatory in Spain.
