A detailed description of my work
Science projects
This page presents an overview of the projects I am currently actively involved in, and also lists those that have been finished with a publication. For more information, please follow the links to the respective pages, where I explain in more detail the main points and results of those projects. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have specific questions or if you are just interested and want to know more.
Weak gravitational lensing studies in the RCS2
During my PhD I started analyzing the Red-sequence Cluster Survey 2 (RCS2) in order to perform various weak lensing studies. The main goal of the studies performed so far has been to constrain the distribution of dark matter around galaxies and galaxy clusters. For more details of the respective projects, please follow the links below. Note that several new exciting projects are currently underway, which I will add to the list below when they are sufficiently mature!
- The relation between baryons and dark matter in galaxies
- Dark matter halo ellipticity of galaxies
- Stellar mass versus velocity dispersion as tracer of dark matter
- The mass richness-relation as a function of redshift
