Structure formation is one of the most fascinating things in the universe.
We encounter it everywhere, on all scales. Driven by strange selforganizing processes, it can be observed here on earth in the growth of plants like sunflowers and animals like amonithes and snails, but also in the anorganic world, like in crystals and sand dunes, just to mention a few examples. The largest structures we are able to observe are galaxies, clusters and superclusters of galaxies. These are the building blocks of the universe. These are exciting questions, and are the subjects of my research.
