Experiments

  • ARIANNA
    • As a DFG research fellow, I have been working on the development of the Antarctic Ross Ice-Shelf ANtenna Neutrino Array (ARIANNA) to detect cosmogenic neutrinos through their radio emission.
  • LOFAR International Telescope
    • During my PhD research I have been working with the LOFAR radio telescope. This interferometric low-frequency array is used to study the sky at the lowest radio frequencies. It is also used to detect air showers from cosmic rays.
  • Pierre Auger Observatory
    • I have been working within the Pierre Auger Collaboration that runs the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina. The Pierre Auger Observatory has been built to detect the highest energy cosmic rays. From working with data from the Surface Dectector during my master project, I have shifted to the radio extension AERA during my PhD project.
