    Research

    I am mostly interested in numerical modelling of particles and radiation in the relativistic jets of active galaxies and microquasars, with the focus on modelling the sources observed by the Planck satellite and multifrequency collaborators.

    My previous work concentrated on particle acceleration and turbulence transmission in relativistic shocks. → Ph.D. thesis and QShock.
