Publications and Lecture Notes
If you want to know more about this, take a look at my
and/or at the review article
I have written lecture notes on a variety of different topics over the
years. Since some of them appear to be quite popular (in particular the lecture notes on
General Relativity) I am making them available again:
Bachelor and Master Projects
If you are interested in writing your Bachelor or Master Thesis under my supervision (and you are a student at the UniBE), just get in touch with me.
Please Note:
Due to lack of time and resources, I am not available for the supervision of external students or summer internships!
