PhD Thesis

My PhD thesis with the title "Aspects of Twistor Geometry and Supersymmetric Field Theories within Superstring Theory" is concerned with essentially two topics: non-anticommutative field theories and twistor string theory. The (major) part on twistor theory contains a hopefully useful introduction to the basics of this subject. And here are the transparencies of the talk with which I defended my thesis.

Master Thesis

My master thesis is about a new representation for bosonic and fermionic Fock spaces using differential forms on supermanifolds. It contains an introduction to supermathematics and a discussion of the Fermi oscillator and its representation by functions of odd (anticommuting) variables.

Undergraduate studies

As an undergraduate student, I had to do quite some experimental projects, although I always wanted to do high-energy theory later on. But, I have to admit, I had much fun with these projects, and did not regret having to do them at all.

First, there was this project for the production and characterization of nano-silverclusters on HOPG in the group of Prof. Gerber in Würzburg.

The second important project had to do with the MINOS experiment. Together with Matthias Ihl, I measured the effect of a magnetic field on the light yield on certain scintillator material, the results of which are found here.
