Greetings #astrodon world!

I am Matthias, I am director of the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and professor at U Potsdam.

I love stars and galaxies, in particular Galactic archeology, galaxy formation, large surveys and big simulations.

Astronomy is not only very cool science, but also part of our culture, and I find science history fascinating.

I also enjoy doing astrophotography (www.astrobin.com/users/GalacticRAVE)

so to make it short: a space nerd.
