Highlights
Latest paper on lensing
A new modelling of two subhaloes detected with strong lensing and a comparisong of their properties to TNG50. "Detecting low-mass haloes with strong gravitational lensing II: constraints on the density profiles of two detected subhaloes", A&A 2024. See more
Latest paper on Dark Matter
Can we distinguish cold and self-interacting dark matter with elliptical galaxies? We look at the shapes of elliptical galaxies in numerical simulations, gravitational lensing data and X-Ray observations and draw conclusions on realistic constraints on the self-interaction cross-section. See more
Latest paper on Machine learning for gravitational lensing
Can we use machine learning to find the most promising gravitational lenses in the Euclid survey and estimate the sensitivity to low-mass dark matter perturber? See more

Projects for Bachelor/Master degrees
If you are a student interested in dark matter, simulations and gravitational lensing in any order, get in contact with me for ideas for a thesis based on cosmology!
