Hi, I'm Sven Kiefer, an astrophysicist studying exoplanets.

I'm Sven Kiefer, an astrophysicist studying the fascinating diversity of exoplanet atmospheres. I'm currently on vacation and will start my new position in January!

I study the atmospheres of exoplanets. I am working with chemical kinetic networks, micro-physical cloud models, and global circulation models. My goal is to use detailed models to achieve precise predictions and connect them to observations. Check out my latest publications and research projects.

I'm taking active part in teaching by supervising lab sessions, bachelor theses and master theses. Outside of university, I organise and take part in outreach activities by giving talks and organising educational events.

With the head in the stars it is important to keep the feet on the ground. I find working on projects in diverse teams and chaotic environ­ments compelling – be it a game development team, the rocket team ARIS or the Massive Exoplanet MEME exhibtion.
