Current Work:

Combining RHESSI and INTEGRAL/SPI results on 26Al flux (exposure-map based approach)
Simulation of the RHESSI instrumental background using the MGGPOD software suite
Millisecond timing analysis of GRB lightcurves at MeV energies to obtain lower limits on the quantum gravity energy constant (INTEGRAL and RHESSI)
Work towards the next generation of gamma-ray telescopes (Compton Telescopes and Gamma Lenses)

My PhD Thesis:

Imaging with the Test Setup for the Coded-Mask INTEGRAL Spectrometer SPI
Performance of a Coded-Aperture Gamma-Ray Telescope at 60 keV - 8 MeV

A discussion of the principles of coded aperture imaging, a description of the spiskymax and spiros SPI imaging analysis algorithms, as well as a description of the test setup used, are included in my PhD Thesis (pdf).
