Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndreas Flörs is a postdoctoral research scientist with eight years of experience applying ab-initio atomic-structure calculations and radiative transfer modelling to explosive transients such as kilonovae. Based at GSI Helmholtzzentrum in Darmstadt after postdocs at the Max Planck Institute and a PhD phase split between MPA and ESO, he blends theoretical astrophysics with computational tooling to turn atomic data into observable spectra. His work sits at the intersection of nuclear/particle physics and astrophysical radiation transport, informed by rigorous training at TUM. Colleagues value his ability to bridge detailed atomic physics and large-scale transient modelling—often writing custom codes to explore how microscopic opacities shape macroscopic light curves.
