As the leader of a project I am searching for people with skills and experience crucial for the project. Scientists are everywhere and I try to convey that also to students who I mentor and who are coming from different parts of the world. 2020/01 - ongoing Supervision of undergraduate student Will Jarvis at Oberlin College 2019/09 - ongoing Co-Supervision of PhD student Tim Olszanski at WVU (in collaboration with Prof.Maura McLaughlin) 2019/06 - 2020/03 Co-Supervision of PhD student Avishek Basu at the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA) in Pune/India (in collaboration with Prof.Bhal Chandra Joshi) 2019/06 - ongoing Co-Supervision of PhD student Haley Wahl at WVU (in collaboration with Prof.Maura McLaughlin) 2018/09 - 2019/07 Co-Supervision of undergraduate student Tessa Maynard at WVU (in collaboration with Prof.Maura McLaughlin) 2018/06 - 2018/08 Co-Supervision of summer student David Forman at Hillsdale College (in collaboration with Prof.Tim Dolch) 2018/05 - 2018/06 Co-Supervision of ACCESS PSC student Valeria Subirachs (in collaboration with Prof.Maura McLaughlin) 2017/06 - ongoing Co-Supervision of summer student Nohely Miranda at WVU (in collaboration with Prof.Maura McLaughlin) 2016/07 - 2016/08 Supervision of high school students at Physics Inspiring the Next Generation (PING) camp at the Green Bank Observatory 2014/06 - 2015/09 Co-Supervision of PhD student Jacques Maritz at the Astronomy Department/University of the Free State/South Africa (in collaboration with Prof.Pieter Meintjes) 2012/01 - 2015/12 Co-Supervision of master student Christoph Wendel at the Astronomy Department/University of Wu¨rzburg (in collaboration with Prof.Karl Mannheim & Dominik Els¨asser) 2012 - 2017 Mentoring of female high school students via the German internet portal “Cybermentor” 2011/10 - 2013/05 Organisation of Astrophysics Lab Course and supervision of undergraduate students at the Astronomy Department/University of Wu¨rzburg 2009 - 2010 Mentoring of female high school students via the German internet portal “Cybermentor” Professional Development Activities Having a deep interest in professional development, I organized several dedicated workshops within the NANOGrav Collaboration. The organization consisted of constructing the talk and a hands on session during which faculty members were advising students at undergraduate and undergraduate level as well as postdocs how to construct, or improve their CVs and resumes. 2019/10 Workshop: CVvs.Resume Workshop for Students (NANOGrav Collaboration Meeting - Fall 2019) 2019/04 Talk: CVvs.Resume Workshop (Undergraduate NANOGrav Telecon, NANOStars) 2019/03 Organization & Talk: CVvs.Resume Workshop (NANOGrav Collaboration Meeting - Spring 2019) Public & Community Outreach Activities Since the beginning of my career I have had a deep interest in public and community outreach. I enjoy giving talks to an audience that does not study the same field as I do and try to explain complex astrophysical processes with simplified analogies and by not using any jargon. According to my philosophy I have not understood a process if I cannot explain it without jargon. 2017/11 Scientific Talk for Teachers: Math Field Marathon 2017 at Green Bank Observatory (“Pulsars”) 2017/07 - 2017/10 Popular Science Talk:“Ask an Astronomer” booth for SETI tours organized by Science center in Green Bank 2017/07 Scientific Talk: Physics Inspiring the Next Generation Camp at Green Bank Observatory (“Pulsars”) 2017/05 Scientific Talk for Teachers: Chautauqua Short Course for Science Teachers at Green Bank Observatory (“Radio Giant Pulses”) 2016/12 Scientific Judge: Pocahontas County Science Fair 2016 2016/09 Tour Guide: Co-organization of Open House Day 2016 at the Green Bank Observatory 2016/08 Organizer: Scientific Host for Garth Newel Musicians at the Green Bank Observatory
