Pascal Förster
I am a PhD student in the ‘First Light’ team of Prof Dr Richard Ellis, working under his supervision. I have only very recently started my studies at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê and am investigating the cosmic epoch of reionization from the vantage of both observations and simulations. My current focus lies on exploring different properties and mechanisms in high-redshift galaxies that, among others, result in vastly different LyC escape fractions and line ratios. Those prove to be key to understanding the reionization of the early universe.

I completed both my Master’s as well as my Bachelor’s degree in Physics at the University Observatory (USM) of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich, where I worked under the supervision of Dr Klaus Dolag and Dr Rhea-Silvia Rhemus on the simulation of turbulence in the ISM as well as on the detection of planes of satellite galaxies in large-scale cosmological simulations.
