Talks

I highlight a few talks here which I made for the general public.

2022 June: Faszination Astronomie online (german)

A talk in German for the interested public that I gave about my scientific work: resolving the Muon Puzzle in air showers initiated by ultra-high energy cosmic rays. The talk contains animations which do not work in the PDF version. You can watch me presenting it on Youtube.

2024 May: On the origin of life on Earth

I prepared this talk as part of my habilitation duties. It is about the puzzle around the origin of life on Earth: how could it evolve so quickly out of non-living matter? Many people expressed how much they liked the talk and topic, so I am sharing it here.
