Norbert Werner

senior research fellow (2016-2020)

PhD (Utrecht University, 2008)

Habilitation (Masaryk University, 2016)

Biography:

Astrophysicist, leader of the “Lendület Hot Universe” research group at Eötvös Loránd University between 2016-2020. Using mainly space observatories, but also ground based and airborne telescopes, I study the hottest places and the most energetic phenomena in the Universe. My research currently focusses on how supermassive black holes and galaxies grow up together and on the application of nanosatellites in astrophysics. Between 2008 and 2016, I was a member of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) at Stanford University.
