Autorenporträt

Wolfgang Kapferer, born 1973, studied astronomy and physics at the University of Innsbruck. In his doctoral thesis and active research time he worked on theoretical models of the evolution of large-scale structures, so-called galaxy clusters. A central role was played by computer simulations and their comparison with observations. The main focus of his work was to better understand the gas dynamic processes involved.
