Marcel S. Pawlowski (Dipl. Phys.)
PhD Student at Prof. Pavel Kroupa's research group Astrophysics of Stellar Populations, Dynamics and Dark Matter.
I am working on the distribution and origin of the MW satellite galaxies and the formation of tidal dwarf galaxies in galaxy encounters. More information about me and my research can be found on my website marcelpawlowski.com
