"We work at the interface between experimental astroparticle physics and artificial intelligence to investigate the most extreme events in our universe. The focus is on research into high-energy cosmic neutrinos and cosmic rays. Our group is involved in major international projects, including the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole and the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina, the world's largest cosmic ray observatory.

A particular focus of our research is the further development of radio technology for measuring these particles. We are playing key roles in two major international projects at some of the most extreme locations on Earth: in the construction of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) and in the development of IceCube-Gen2 at the South Pole.

In addition to the theoretical modeling of radio emission and the analysis of experimental data, we are developing novel detection hardware to enable AI-based real-time analysis, among other things. We are involved in open source software development, have launched the NuRadioMC and NuRadioReco projects and are contributing to the further development of CORSIKA 8.

A key project in the coming years is NuRadioOpt, funded by the European Research Council (ERC ), in which we will use artificial intelligence to significantly improve the performance of future neutrino detectors."
