I completed my graduation in April 2006 from the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie, Bonn. My PhD research work was related to the image flux ratio anomaly in the doubly-imaged strong gravitational lens system JVAS B0218+357, which I studied using the radio technique of very long baseline interferometry. Since then, my research interests have expanded into the field of galaxy clusters and, in particular, to address the issues concerning the cooling flows observed in galaxy clusters. In May 2007, I joined Thomas Reiprich's Emmy Noether Research Group at AIfA, Bonn University, to work on the SPP project with HIFLUGCS clusters in collaboration with Thomas and Danny Hudson (AIfA).
