Research Interests:
My
research interest is in the field of Solar physics. In
particular in the study of transition region and coronal dynamics and
energetics from VUV spectroscopy and VUV and Soft-X
imaging.
In the last 10 years I have been
increasingly involved in the conceptual development, proposition, realization
and operation of VUV spectroscopic and imaging instrumentation. I have
been contributing to the EUI and SPICE (Co-I level) and Metis (Co-PI level)
instruments aboard the Solar orbiter mission of ESA launched in 2020. Currently, I am involved in the realization of
the EUVST spectrograph for the Solar-C mission of JAXA for which I lead
the German contribution to the mission.
