Miniforschung Projects

Within the group various Miniforschungs-projects can be done, the topic will be decided upon in conversation with the applicant. Note for north-American students: Stipends are available at www.daad.org under the RISE program! For questions or applications, please contact us.

Diplom

We welcome students interested in doing a Diplom/Masters/Bachelors-thesis in our group. Various projects can be done. A few well-defined projects for which we are seeking talented students are:
  • Hydrodynamic simulations of disks perturbed by embedded planets and/or companions, and the comparison to observed millimeter wave maps of actual sources (together with the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard).
  • Analyzing the latest Spitzer Space Telescope and Very Large Telescope Interferometer data of protoplanetary disks using high-end multi-dimensional radiative transfer programs.
  • Planet/Brown-Dwarf formation through gravitational instabilities of protoplanetary disks (together with Prof. Dr. Ralf Klessen).
  • High-end astrophysical computing using graphics cards: Supercomputing @ Home. See this page for more information (read the HiWi position description).
But other topics can also be agreed upon. For questions or applications, please contact us.
