Dr.rer.nat.habil. (Habilitation), University of Munich (Germany) 1998
 Research Interests:
- Particle Astrophysics Theory
in particular dark matter candidates from theories
beyond the standard model
and sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
- Particle Physics Theory
in particular implications and signatures of dynamical couplings in gauge theories
- Gravitation and Cosmology
in particular cosmological implications of modifications of Einstein gravity
- Low-dimensional systems in nanotechnology and condensed matter physics
A list comprising most of my publications (except those in condensed matter physics) can be found in
SPIRES.
 Mentoring and teaching:
- Current graduate students:
Daryl Janzen, Fred Sage, Kai Wunderle.
- In term 1 I will teach the following classes:
- ASTR 102.3: Introduction to Galaxies and Cosmology
- PHYS 251.3/252.3: Relativistic Mechanics and Quantum Physics/Foundations of Modern Physics
- In term 2 I will teach the following classes:
- ASTR 411.3: Gravitation and Cosmology
- PHYS 833.3: General Relativity and Gravitation
Other classes that I have taught at UofS:
In Munich I have taught classes in
Mechanics, Supersymmetry, Group Theoretical Methods in Physics, and
Astroparticle Physics.
I am also Chair of
the Undergraduate Affairs Committee in Physics & Engineering
Physics.
