A highly motivated and accomplished Astronomer with over 10 years of experience in observational astrophysics and cosmology. Specializing in the study of galaxy formation and dark matter distribution, my work is deeply rooted in the vibrant scientific community of Germany Munich. I have contributed to groundbreaking research at leading institutions such as the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPIA) and Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU Munich). My expertise spans data analysis, instrumentation development, and interdisciplinary collaboration, with a strong focus on advancing our understanding of the universe. As an Astronomer in Germany Munich, I am committed to fostering innovation through education and public outreach while maintaining rigorous scientific standards.
