DR. GIANFRANCO BRUNETTI
Dr. Gianfranco Brunetti is staying at our Institute of Theoretical Physics IV / Chair of Space and Astrophysics (Prof. Dr. Reinhard Schlickeiser) as a guest from 01.04.2015 to 31.07.2015. The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation has awarded him a research prize, the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award. He comes from the Instituto Nazionale die Astrofisica (INAF) in Bologna, Italy. Another stay next year is planned.
Dr. Brunetti will study the acceleration of charged particles in galaxies and galaxy clusters to predict their observational radiation signatures from radio wave to gamma-ray regions.
