My name is Franz Kirsten and I am a PhD student of Wouter Vlemmings at the Argelander Institut für Astronomie that is part of the University of Bonn. I work with interferometric data focusing on doing astrometry with compact radio sources that are mostly pulsars. For more details check out the Research area. In case you would like to find out what I have been up to until now, take a look at my CV. Of course, there is also life next to science and to show you a bit of mine I uploaded a few photos on my Personal pages. Enjoy!
