Made towards the end of the 70s, my endeavors started with a broken (but fixed by my dad) SX-64. Hooked up ATARIs to synthesizers and CB in the 90s.
After studying Experimental- and Laser-Physics in Bielefeld, I received a PhD in Astrophysics from the Max Planck Institute for extraterrestrial Physics. I co-built LUCI and contributed to the ARGOS project - the two astronomical instruments that will be in the talk.
