Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Schlecker is an astrophysicist and recently defended PhD candidate specializing in planet formation, combining large-scale simulations with observational studies of exoplanet systems. With a decade of experience spanning rigorous statistics, time series analysis and data-driven methods, he bridges theoretical modeling and telescope-driven discovery. Trained at TUM, NUS and the International Max Planck Research School, he brings interdisciplinary rigor and hands-on electronics/IT roots from an early apprenticeship. Now a postdoctoral researcher in exoplanet science at the University of Arizona, he is an open science and open source enthusiast who emphasizes reproducible workflows for complex astrophysical inference.
