Mission statement

To enable the detection and characterization of terrestrial exoplanets and assess their habitability we carry out astronomical observations on state-of-the-art telescopes, contribute to the development of key technologies and instruments for world-leading facilities and design powerful data processing algorithms and statistical frameworks to interpret the data.

The activities in our group are guided by the long-term goal to empirically assess the uniqueness of Earth – as a habitable planet – in the context of exoplanet research.
