Prof. Dr. Gerhard Börner
is a staff member at the Max-Planck-Institut für Astrophysik in Garching, and also an Apl. Professor at the Ludwig Maximilians Universität in München. He is also the leading scientist in the project "Dark Matter and Large Scale Structure" which is part of the SFB375 in Astroparticle-Physics financed by the DFG. After his Ph D in particle physics at LMU under the supervision of Prof.s Dürr and Heisenberg, he spent 3 years as a postdoc in Japan and the US. During that time his research interest switched to astrophysics -- the structure of neutron stars ,and the physics of pulsars and X-ray sources--,and after his return to München in 1973 he joined the MPI für Astrophysik.In 1984 he spent one year as a guest professor at Zürich university. Around 1986 he started research in Cosmology ,then a new field at the MPA. He has written a text book on cosmology "The Early Universe" which will (hopefully) soon appear as a revised and updated edition. His research interests are : The cosmic large scale structure--models and data--, and still at a reduced level, the physics of accreting neutron stars.
