Our group is active in a number of areas at the forefront of star and planet formation research. Topics of specific focus include:
• formation and evolution of planetary systems
• search for and characterization of exoplanets
• physics of star formation
• the origin of the IMF and the companion mass ratio distribution
• formation and evolution of star clusters
• ground- and space-based astronomical instrumentation (with a focus on the infrared) to enable progress in these areas.
