Staff members with discipline Astronomy & Astrophysics
Academia develops at the interface of different fields. This is one reason why the University of Groningen is home to a wide range of fields, each with a great number of subject specialists. The overview below, which is based on a standard categorization of fields, will help you find the right expert for each field. If you cannot find the expert you are looking for in this list, try searching via a related field or faculty; you may find him or her there.
My scientific interests: Star Formation, Astrochemistry, Hot cores/corinos, (proto)stellar outflows, sub-mm astronomical observations (especially with ALMA), chemical kinetic modeling, solar system chemistry, prebiotic molecule formation.I am also an avid... read more
